My best friend has been driving a taxi for the past three years. I know it's making him older before his time. He hates it, and it definitely is affecting his self-image. I don't mind being poor, but then it's a choice and I enjoy the challenge of living on as little as possible...but I'm nuts, so I think that itself might condemn me to live longer than I'd desire. ..xx..e |

When I left School I was a manual worker, working as a gardener, I was on a low wage but managed to eat well, plus I couldn't afford to drink much and the job kept me phyisically fit. Nearly 30 years later, I no longer have a mannual job, I now work as a community worker. Compaired to my peers I concider myself reasonably healthy but compairing my own lifestyle 30 years ago to now I've declined (that's taking age into concideration) don't get as much exersise, I eat when I've got time,which means I often skip meals & I drink more. Yes the job gives me more money but it also gives me more stress. |
