    Haha. Me too!

    Type B05: Mid-Career Climbers

    Families enjoying the fruits of career success in pleasant detached houses.

    Not a million miles away I guess, except that I'm 15 years younger than they think I should be (the missus is over 20 years younger) and they think the kids should approaching 18 years old and ours isn't even 18 months yet! :)

    They also think I'm competitive. LOL, Nope!

    Personally I think I'm more of a G31.

    • The poor only have expenses.

    Erm it's not me, but they do essentially have a picture of me and my name!

    I didn't choose the house though and can't wait to get out of it;)

    061 'Convivial Homeowners....choosing to live in diverse urban areas rather than the suburbs.'

    Well Educated : Suppose so, both to degree level, although we were both in our 30s when we did our degrees

    Professionals: Before Retirement, Teacher and Local Government Officer

    Creative jobs: See above, althlough my husband does paint and sells his artwork

    Comfortable Incomes: Suppose so, when we were working, and now we are retired we don't qualify for means-tested Benefits

    Early 30s/late 40s : No we are in our 60s!

    Young families: One son in his 30s

    Period features : Yes,

    Close to city : Walking distance

    Nearby shops : Even closer walking distance


    Books, magazines : Yes

    So I suppose apart from our age and not having young children (because of our age), we do fit the profile.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Type O66: University Fringe

    A mix of students living alongside graduates who are starting out on careers whilst still enjoying the city student lifestyle.

    Not totally accurate as I am in my mid-thirties, but where I live is on the fringe of a student area, and I do enjoy the city lifestyle.

    lol...

    I'm I41- Stressed Borrower
    Middle aged people renting or owning in council areas, many of whom are over-stretched with debt.

    Well, council area yes, but everything else is "off"... not middle-aged, not a borrower (other than the mortgage, but that's easily manageable) and not stressed! :)
