man o kent 269 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Ive never been so strapped. My mates are telling me about their holidays abroad that are coming up, or the new car they want to get, and im thinking where are they getting the spare cash? As soon as I get paid its straight out on bills, food and rent and then im scratching round for pennies for petrol to get to work and feed the family. Is it just me that's struggling this year? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it just me that's struggling this year? its countrywide mate, never thought i would see adverts wanting 2 quid a month to feed kids in this country or food banks feeding working families , whilst we give 11 billion pounds away each year.

Paid 935 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'm starting to feel the pinch, the recession has taken a long time to reach the south, or at least my part of the south, but it seems it is here now, no one has to much spare cash around, lot of youngsters struggerling to find work.. Still, luckily i don't mind camping holidays :-) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
