please don't rattle my cage on this one. *sits on hands*
BBrown1664, HERE HERE and that's just the tip of the iceburg
Bugger, I'm off...family down the road, in a 100% identical house to us, she's a mature student and he sits at home all day, they have one child we have 2. I work, my wife is a stay at home mum. We are desperate to move, we love our little terraced house but with 4 of us in there it's all of a sudden VERY small. But, we can't afford to move because of stamp duty, movings costs and the increase in the mortgage, council tax and heating bills etc that a bigger house would incur. BUT, people down the road are on benefits, they say the house is too small and get moved into a nice 3 bed semi in a nice part of town, nothing too grand but a house that would suit us down to the ground, so, REMIND ME WHY I WORK!!!!???!! and breathe *sits on hands again*

Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys beer, and that helps!
