Money buys tangible things.
Happiness isn't tangible.
Wife & kids happy?
Bills paid each month?
A few quid for a beer on Friday night?
That's enough. Any more and you'd just spend it on stuff you don't really want.
Ps-it still really surprises me that people post their earnings on an open forum.
Only me, the accountants and her majesty's finest know what I make.
I earned over a Hundred grand last year and next month I intend going to the moon with
Richard Branson.
Do you honestly think that if somebody was good enough to be earning £50.000 + a year cleaning windows they would be the type of person to tell strangers about it.
I do. Yes. People are (sometimes) proud of what they earn (sometimes rightly so) and like to tell people.
Someone very close to me, also a shiner, is always telling me what he makes as it is so much more than they used to make in their previous job.
It's the same story for a lot if us, if not all of us.
Just that some people speak about it and some don't.
In my experience, the ones that don't say tend to be at the higher end of the fiscal scale
