How many previous generations had cash to spare at the end of the month to do some of the things you read about on here?

My guess is if you're struggling now then brace yourself as its only going to get worse before it gets better.

Spot on fella, when did our parents expect to get their 52" plasmas ?

My parents worked when I was growing up in the 70's and early 80's we never had a new car, I remember when we got a colour TV and that was only in about 1975 something like that.

People today just think England owes them a living and that they should have everything, but life isnt like that and some are about to get a lesson in going without.
