Everyone can make excuses. Realistically, if you are without children, you can live on very little. A matter of pounds per week in living expenses. Rent is the only big expense.
I dont want to appear preachy, because half the point of this thread as pointed by out Sharkster is not living according to someone else principles or agenda, but your own. I just feel that a lot of people make decisions based on fear, on what others think etc, and so such thought precludes happiness.
However, the fact of the matter is that we will all probably have to reduce our consumption so that the rest of the world can have a modicum of the comfort we have. What disturbs me is that many of us start to see many luxuries as necessities, like a mobile phone, which is just ridiclous and quite pathetic.
