The people that are the most ‘tolerant’ of society seem to be the most intolerant if you disagree with their political views. I most likely won’t vote for Reform or any other party in the next election because I’m yet to see one politician that grasps basic economics. But I do know that if your argument is “ha, you can’t afford to go to University!”, then you’re probably not as virtuous as you think you are. image
When you become a dad, your definition of “success” completely changes. If you’d have asked me 12 months ago, salary and titles mattered a lot to me. Now all I really want is to give my family a good life. My kids won’t care if I was a “thought leader”. But they will remember whether I was present and whether they felt loved. That doesn’t mean my work ethic will drop. I still want to work hard and care deeply about what I do. If anything, that matters more now as I want to be a good role model. It just means that my sense of self-worth isn’t tied to my career, pay bands or titles anymore. P.S. I realise I look like I’m having way more fun than my son in this photo. image
My credit score has tanked because I’m now debt free and own everything I have. All credit brokers recommend that I use credit cards or take out a loan to show that I’m trustworthy and boost my score. Almost seems like they want people to stay as debt slaves forever. image
Working from home with a young child has raised an important question for me. How on earth does Bandit from Bluey have the energy for all of those games? No visible fatigue whatsoever and available for “just one more”. Puts me to shame! image
Unpopular opinion: I wish you could opt out of paying National Insurance. I don’t want to participate in, fund or receive anything from a state pension Ponzi scheme and would rather the money went literally anywhere else.
