I never missed a healthy day of work in the past 22 years, i have called in sick a handful of times to prevent others from getting sick.

I worked 84h weeks, but mainly 40/45h weeks.

If i hadn't had my savings taken away at 17 i could have bought a house at 18, nowadays my labour isn't valuable enough to afford me a house.

So if anyone has a spare 500k laying around so i can buy a small house...i'd gladly receive it.

We could wait the extra 5 years but i'm afraid a small home will cost closer to a million then.

Gotta love this economy and all these fancy modern things we get to enjoy...if we can afford them.
