Rich? Me?

Apr 21, 2008 17:39

I have just been to visit various family members in Harrogate, with my sister. A common theme I got while there was that they think I am rich. Of course, having not had any income for the last year, this is a bit of an exaggeration. My sister was shocked to see that my TV was not a wide-screen brand-new plasma TV (as she had been told), but in fact a reasonable second-hand TV I'd bought for £10. All my relatives commented on how much money I had with my vast income, the money my parents were giving me, and the work I was doing. I haven't received anything from my parents for 4 years (and I am still owed 1 Christmas and 1 Birthday present). My income is fairly low, a little bit of demonstrating work.

Last year everyone thought I was just about to head off to America for a job. This year everyone thinks I am rich. I wonder what next year's misguided snipped of information will be...
