I got presents on my birthday and Christmas and that was it .... made me value the ones I got even more! My Dad made me a dolls house one year for Christmas and he even made tiny little tables and chairs and sofas for it ... it was the cutest thing ever
When I was in college I used to be so jealous of my friends who got a grant .... I always had to work part time for my money ... but it probably helped me long-term .....
I think that people should cut their cloth according to their measure ... some families cut back on holidays, designer clothes, meals out etc... to save money for their kids education. It's a lifestyle choice .... but you can't expect to spend all your money on the good life and then expect the state to pick up the tab for your kids education if you didn't save money for them because you preferred to spend it otherwise.
Some people genuinely are not in a position to save for their kids education ... but some just couldn't be bothered
Nobody is ganging up on you .... you have just been advised about a "creative" entry on your profile ..... there is a big difference between 23 and 30 .... maybe that's why it hasn't been working for you
Which day would suit you best for a cine-meet?
Haven't seen that one yet .... looks good
