Doesn't look like I did post on this originally, but I seem to remember posting on another very similar one. I live in a detached 3-bed house in one of the nicest areas in Wigan, and the mortgage could be paid off with savings quite easily. But if I moved to London I'd struggle to buy a one-bed flat in a half-decent area, so I guess it's all relative. I'm paid decently enough (way over the local average, but again wouldn't exactly be great even in Manchester) , and my wife's paid pretty well for someone who only works four days a week. We have no money worries at all, at present. If I were made redundant though, which isn't that remote a possibility, and I struggled to find a job, we'd be worried. Proposed pension at retirement age is peanuts, which is a worry, but I'm planning funding my pensionable years through crime, and appealing for clemency based on lack of accountability.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.
