Im trying to read 'road to Wigan Pier', only a few pages each night. The book, which is really a commentry on working class lives pre war, paints an awful picture of the lives of particularly miners. How familles kept going in those difficult times, its just so different to todays lifestyles. Our country is getting poorer, hopefully we will never regress back to those times.

Like most if not all things there are two sides to every story.
We have the family that needs support because they fritter their money away.
We have the family that needs support because they are low paid and have nothing left for saving.

The future is looking glum so I suggest spend wisely in case glum it is.
