r/Glasgow Tools

I feel the same. It isn't even just Glasgow. I lurk on r/ukjobs amd stuff as well and they're all chatting about their 70k salaries like it's nothing. Seeipsupy have a peek, 40k must be the aversge salary discussed there. How? Wit they doing? Theyre cagey as fuck about sharing as well like sone weird kind of gatekeeping.

Specific to Glasgow I think a lot of the lurkers on reddit aren't exactly from working class backgrounds but pretend otherwise. I personally know folk who work shit <25k jobs just like me (I'm min wage @ 33yo, yeehaa) yet they're buying a new motor or going on their 3rd holiday this year? Talk pish. I think way more people get money from family than admit it. I worked with a guy same job tenner an hour yet he bought a new Merc and owned 4 buy to let? Arsehole.

Honestly I have always been poor. I feel more and more poor with each passing month. Low wages. High costs. Increased everything and more scheduled yet get kb'd for every job I go for but then I see what other cunts are doing and it makes me want to take a dip in the Clyde. It makes no sense to me and I honestly dunno what then utter fuck to do about it. All this house buying pish, magically conjuring up tens of thousands and the means to pay it back, I cannae even afford to move to another rental cos prices have shot up a couple hundred a month. I treated myself to a 12 quid takeaway for the first time in ages and felt like scumbag of the century for doing so.

That's a bit of a vent. Sorry. Basically, aye, I get ye, and aye, its fucked.
