I am personally a half of a pair of DINKS... and a classic example of Gen Y. I have expensive taste in everything and couldn’t imagine giving up what i have *waves hand at lifestyle* to live on the pittance dished out from the dole office in a campsite smelling like week old sports socks. I work hard for it, and am career driven, If i don’t have a job i go loopy (2 weeks holidays and i start to get a bit batty) I don’t admire people for giving up being a grown up and slumming it as a lifestyle... but i also don’t think less of them.. what suits me often doesn’t suit others... and vice versa.

My taxes are going to go dole bludgers regardless, so there is no use fighting it, or slagging off climbers doing what they want to do with it, its just like getting angry with a red light.. you have no control over it or where your taxes are going, it could be to build a road, or to fund a new cam for a climber.

And another thing, what goes around comes around.. my taxes might come back to me in the way of someone teaching me how to trad climb in Araps (hint hint nudge nudge...)
