I hear what you are saying Mike and agree that it is easy to loose sight of what is good around us.
We are of course both at slightly different places in our lives. I have put 2 kids through 4 years each of university in Melbourne and Wagga Wagga, worked long hours for years, finally move into a senior position at work which I had hoped would set me up for retirement. I now look at everything escalating in price far faster than my wage is growing, see governments taxing us to death, Health insurance increases, petrol increases, electricity increases, Queensland flood taxes and just about every other billincreasing by significantly more than my salary.
I do get somewhat dishaertened and after working for 41 years full time, now wonder if my dreams can be fullfilled before some other greedy ******* empties my pockets fully.
Termites might beat all of them yet. Seems they are still eating my house.
