There seems to be an ever increasing divide between people.. On one side there are those who want the world to turn according to their agenda and on the other those who fit their agenda according to the world..... 

It's possible to do both, work with the world and accept the reality, but hope also for a better environment to suite your situation, but not accepting defeat so easily also and aiming to meet a better situation.

You've just described me to an extent.

I will campaign vigorously for what I feel is the right thing, but also have to realistically adapt to the situation that is handed down, however against this it may be.

Sadly I have a friend who complains about the goverrnement and the rich.

He is on the dole, has a flat rent provided for, and seems to manage to buy things (TV, gaming PC etc). Yet he still complains. I offered him a route into work, he refused with some excuse. And carries on moaning about the gov and how bad they are to the poor and how the rich get away with everything.

Me on the other hand, have been saving for years and years, and will save for another few years, before I can buy my own home. I have worked since the age of 18 and slowly made my way up to 35k (soon to be 40k, yeah I know some people think that's low, but to me its a lot of money). Something has to be wrong there. 

But of course it is easier to sit there and moan that everything in your life is the fault of someone else than to get off you backside and work. I am sure the gov does have some rich dip sticks in it, but at the same time opportunities to improve yourself are there. You might as well take them if you can. Some things in the world you cannot change.

Financially, you’ve made a terrible decision by having all that cash in the rental property than in the stockmarket. So why not sell now and invest the proceeds?

Time to sell was at the start of the SD stunt?

Dull, predictable characterisation of an underclass living the life of luxury off your coin earned from the sweat of your brow.  Ho hum

More accurately those who own property and want it to keep going up forever so they have a nice retirement fund, and those who want to own property but can't afford the insane prices.

I definitely agree with the second part of that statement., the first... not so much but then I can't speak for those who have and their reasons for having.

I never said they were living in luxury, or that they were living off my coin, whatever that getto talk means. Ho hum back to the dole house I’m sure they know you well.

let’s just pretend these people don’t exist. But they do, I should know, a big chunk of my family are them. But daring to get out of the socialist circle of dole isn’t what the socialists want. I’m the enemy in your eyes because I’m working class and managed to get a decent job. Remember what they say about socialism.

The "retirement fund" can`t be accessed if people can`t afford the "insane prices" (as we have seen with the recent transactions drop) Interesting times....
