I entered the workforce in 2008 and, weirdly, I think that's why I do. Like, adults can get through that or something? I dunno. It's also cos my UK cousins are fucking raking it in (my eldest cousin worked in corporate real estate in Hong Kong for five years and is pretty fucking minted). Plus most of my friends have "proper" jobs now (teaching mostly, but one friend works for National Rail and another as a hedge fund manager) and here's me still working in retail. *shrugs* That being said, one of my teacher friends, as well as the one who works for National Rail, says that she doesn't feel like an adult. Both of them still live at home, so I think for them, moving out is the adulting thing. Which to them makes me the adult. Sort of.

Haha yeah, you can probably buy ISLANDS for the price of some London houses. And definitely a Scottish castle. That being said, that Scottish castle probably needs a lot of money for upkeep. :P
