First World Problems
Onemunki says: We live in a world of genuine tragedy, starvation and terror. So, after hearing stories of cruise line passengers complaining at the air conditioning breaking down, what stories of sheer single-minded self-pity get your goat?

I do feel rather screwed over.
I have a massive student loan which people wheras people who went to uni previously were given grants.
My pension is being cut and I will probably have to work until I am 70 whilst my pay is being frozen.
I am now not going to be paid child benefits when I have children because I've waited until I can afford to start a family.
It's all very well saying that higher earners should pay for everything but I work long hours without any sort of break and it's taken me years to get to the stage where I earn a decent salary. I feel that people who can't afford to support a family should wait until they can before burdening the rest of society by having children.

exactly this^
Minus the student loan, but long hours, hard work, and sensible choices.
