There are elements of what Baz and Faraway are saying that I agree with, am I bitter that my salary should be well into the 40k bracket but due to wage increase restrictions it is very much not, of course I am but the choices were change career and hope to match what I should've have been earning or stick with where I'm happy and cut my cloth accordingly, I chose the latter, others may not have had those options but there are necessities and there are necessities, some people who are claiming to be poorly off have better phones and the like than I have but equally not necessarily through their own fault/choices there are others in genuine hardship, a bit of balance is required in the debate to be nearer to a more realistic view of the situation.
