Working three part time jobs until I got a full time one, kept a roof over our heads but wore me out eventually.
I just looked out my divorce papers, I should have got quite a bit over 11 years!
He had the cheek to take me to court to get it reduced but when his solicitor heard he hadn't been paying anything he took him outside and shouted at him! Then he disappeared

Nooo I came back in 1985, didn't want to, but I couldn't get a decent job where I was without speaking Afrikaans, my rent was as much as my wages, I had lots of help from friends fortunately.I saw a solicitor on getting back here so I think I can open a case.

Why do rich people take drugs and can't go a day without Alcohol.They do not want for anything, live in lovely homes in the most prestigious areas, buy anything they desire and often spend Half a £Million on one Birthday Party.
Also have lovely wives and families and often a mistress as well to spend their money on
What is the are lacking?
Does money not make them happy?
Or, is it very stressful managing a fortune?

Re: Why the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor
What a huge generalisation Azure !All rich people don't take drugs and don't drink alcohol every day .
In the same way you don't have to be rich to take drugs and drink alcohol daily indeed many of those people on the streets do exactly that!

I don't personally subscribe to that mentality.
A man with nothing but life's essentials, living frugally and happily with contentment and oneness with Nature is more wealthy than any billionaire devoid of true happiness and contentment.
What does it profit a man if he ammasses all the wealth in the world and then dies? Surely better to have little and to live forever.

Re: Why the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor
Thing is Realist it isn't cheap to live at one with nature .Least ways not in this country.
I would love to live on a farm and live a simple life growing my own stuff etc etc .
I would love to have an eco friendly house .
I do have an eco friendly garden .
It's a right mess and nature and wildlife love a mess .
Maybe we should all go and live in hobbit houses in Wales but what I ask myself to people do for money ?
One has to buy some things at some point .
