I can see why this article (Sunday Times: on 'Impoverished professionals': 'debt juggling') might offend some people (not just those on LJ)...
As a pretty judicious saver and investor at heart, it does frustrate me to see people who clearly should be able to live quite comfortably, mismanaging their finances to such an extent. How can they have 'no savings' - have they not heard of the pensions crisis that awaits them in a few years.
Maybe it also has something to do with the hours I've been working lately to maintain my own income - past 2am two nights last week, the last two weekends, 1am on Monday, 2am yesterday and so far it's 11pm tonight with the end being at least an hour away.
