    I'm 40. Educated to Masters level. Due to ill-health I can't work full-time. Currently working as a notetaker for disabled students but not nearly enough work. I make ends meet by taking in young people on a supported lodgings scheme run by a charity. Housing Benefit this year have decided to axe my benefit by taking into account the money I get for the supported lodgings (even though I must save the Council hundreds if not thousands of pounds every year by taking kids who would otherwise end up in care). I get about £9K/annum and this has to cover everything for two adults (my supported lodgee is a 6ft 17yr old lad who could eat for England :rotfl:) including rent and council tax.

    The perks are that I get lots of free time and my job is really interesting. I would do the supported lodgings thing anyway even if I was a millionaire because I enjoy giving young people a chance, it's just lucky for me that it makes ends meet (just about).

    However, I worry constantly about not having a pension or any insurance. I'm happy in so far as I have a roof over my head, clean water and food (more than half the world has, for sure, and for that I am grateful - we all should be!). But I am disappointed in myself because I feel that I haven't fulfilled my potential, career-wise. I have brains but not the stamina to use them!

    Sorry if this sounds a bit miserable. I get a bit fed-up of constantly having to watch every penny and wondering how I am going to change things. Those of you who have a good salary - enjoy it and save as much as you can as you never know what will happen in the future!
