It is part of human nature to be envious or jealous (even ever so slightly) of another, so to honestly answer the question - yes I do find myself being a bit envious from time to time of others...
But it's only really when it's people that really don't deserve to have what that have that gets my back up - specially when they don't work hard for what they have, or don't appreciate what they have, or don't care for what they have. That annoys me, as I work very hard, and have done all my working life (well apart from my lat job where I sat on my arse looking on PF and ebay most of the time

But that weren't my fault as I wasn't being allowed to work hard due to the companies financial restraints

)

I very much agree - Lee is a cracking guy, who is considerably well off, but doesn't push it in your face all the time, or rub anyone's nose in it. He seems to be very money concious, and I get the impression he is one of these guys that whilst he has a fair bit of money, still knows the value of a pound, which gets lost quite a bit these days! Sure, we know he is well off just by looking at the ammount and thw quality of the cars he drives - but then why shouldn't he drive what he does, considering he can afford them? It's not like he sticks up a post every 5 mins saying "I have this much money to waste - what shall I buy?"

So fair play to him - he's made a few quid and seems to be sensible with it and about it
I do find myself feeling a little jealous tho of that type of person (above), but it's usually down to the fact of "I wish I could afford stuff like that" or "I wish I could buy a house like that" etc, etc.... But as said, thats just human nature at the end of the day, and it's not a malicious envy or anything.... I don't resent people how work hard and make themselves a few quid - it's the freeloaders and tax dodgers that piss me off - and people that have 14 kids, and free council housing with 50k benefits a year - just so they don't have to work and have the things I wish I could only afford!
