company i was running went under at the end of 2010, took a few months to get through it... by the time i'd got back on my feet as freelance i was another 10k in debt and pretty sick of the design industry... early 2011 my housemate passed away, i had a health scare of my own and was having a nightmare of a time with the (now ex) g/f at the same time. also, met a lot of folks that have been in much worse financial situations, with debt running in to millions/ bankruptcy/ massive tax bills now happily running their own rootsy businesses or working as bar tenders, gaffers, white van men.
just made me realise that money is a pile of shite in the bigger scheme of things, and if i want to 'shoot for the moon' for a retirement fund, probably not best to do it in this shithole of a country in the middle of a financial crisis... anyway, worked much less this year, updated my skills, made more music, hung out with my friends... not so bothered that almost everything i have earned has gone to paying off loans and tax bills.
