We're so much better off than people than we *don't fit on the graph*.

And yet we STILL CAN'T AFFORD A NICE HOUSE (by nice I mean, well, actually I mostly mean "can fit all our stuff and a piano and a cat" or possibly I mean "like my parents' house"; I definately don't mean "a mansion with a pool and 10 acres of land"). I hate the housing market.

I'm individually richer than 80% of the population. And I not only can't afford a nice house I can't even afford a whole one-bedroom flat. I really really really hate the housing market.

The expression 'Cry me a river' springs to mind... :-P

Yeah, I mean, we're certainly not suffering.

I just, really fucking hate the housing market.

We are better off than 60 % of the population. Given that my partner is a student nurse with a small bursary and I work part-time, that says a lot about how poorly paid the average worker is in the UK, although obviously we'd be much worse off if we had kids.

30% on a good month, 10% on a bad one (ETA: next month, 6%). FML - statistically.

I'm better off according to the IFS than 4% of the population. Yes, four per cent. However as all it looks at is current income versus council tax there are as you may imagine a large number of variables unaccounted for: mortgage payments, savings due to earlier income, &c.

Take the 1% and redistribute their wealth.
