It is fine to live low n honest, but still bills need to be paid, and holidays enjoyed.
Last time I had a holiday was in 1985… I’m serious.
I’ve been abroad, WORKING. When I had money to go places, I had no one to go with, now I have my soulmate, I have no money to travel!
A civil servant keeps thinking that disability gets better over time and reduce what little you had.
Its not just about wanting nice stuff, it’s about replacing what is broken sometimes, and if you struggle to pay bills, you have nothing left to replace an overheating fridgefreezer… instead you buy milk daily in hot weather. It’s about watching a TV with black lines as you can’t replace.
Life in the slow lane is nice, but most times is boring as you have plenty of time, but not to maximise!
However, if I could have anything, I’d have my health, and Jane wouldn’t have throat cancer. Without your health, life is not much regardless of how many gimmicks you have!
