oh my god I've been hit hard.
My chance of buying a house is now gone.
My 'secure' job now isn't.
I'm dipping into my savings.
I live in a shanty town with no running water.

Get over yourselves.

Signed,
People in most of the world.

Perspectives
It depends on experience- just because most of the worlds population have a lack of clean water, sanitation etc. doesn't negate the experiences of millions of people in the rest of the world who do. Fuck, I sound like a bit of a cunt, perhaps because I am :) Hurray.

Slightly agrees..
If you have nothing you have nothing to lose. Still, even if I was in £20k debt and living in a shed, I'd not swap places with the people in most of the rest of the world.
