    I'm glad that you recognise my skills are superior to yours in all kinds of areas ....... you forgot to thank yourself above!

    You may be 25 in age terms ..... but in troll years you are 75, bitter and twisted.

    I cannot imagine any area in which you might be superior -- you have the intellectual acuity of a saveloy, the self-awareness of a baboon, and the natural charm of a polecat. A sad and deluded individual I'd wager.

    To those who are saying that £120k is not a high salary.

    Well... it may not be high relative to a £500k lifestyle (that much, I'll grant you).

    But to me, £120k is over £100k more than I earn. So from my perspective £120k is very high indeed.

    I think, it's a matter of perspective. And just because a person earns £120 a year doesn't mean they have to spend that or more every year, it is their choice to buy an expensive home, it is their choice to send their children to expensive private schools.

    Ultimately everyone needs to live within their means, I think someone on£120k is in a better place to do that than someone on £20k.

    People who earn sums like £120,000 and have the audacity to claim that they are hard up deserve the Left's intention to tax them until their pips squeak

    What about those who earn around £120k but don't moan about being hard up?
    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.
