thanks for your optimism but its a conditioning that has been going on for a long time , that why its hard to alter it. Things are so expensive in this modern age , it can hardly be surprising.
That's why living in the UK is so hard because everything is so overpriced ... Housing, higher education, ridiculously low welfare for people when they are out of a job, the cost of living generally speaking is ridiculous.
Of course it is easier with 2 incomes than just one esp. if you have to take a minimum wage job because there's nothing else out there. I think the damage was done in my 20's and earlier, long-term unemployment, not getting the high grades i needed to get a better job, there are a lot of different factors that have compounded the situation to where it is now. The low self-esteem and self-confidence is obviously one of the main problems. I know very few people who are my age and live on my own , but then the loneliness and seeming isolation hits too if you have only a few friends to rely on and trust. Yeah i suppose i'm just venting right now, but don't most people in my situation.
