Close your gaz box, keep that shit to yourself.
So this has been the longest financial 'pinch' since the 1920's according to Radio 4. Is your bank balance noticeably shitter than it was ten years ago? Those who have joined the job market for the first time in this period, what's it been like for you?

I still want to earn more though, so I can retire early having set our family up properly and having paid for fees for decent schools etc.

To a point. If your income goes up more than inflation but costs only increase in line with inflation you can save / invest more.
However, given the current level of inflation the value of any increase in saving you make needs to be higher than inflation for this to work. HTH.

Alternatively, spend all you earn on enjoying yourself and then jump off Beachy Head.
