My mum told me of how they live on £4.50 a week when she was younger and I think jeez I almost get twice that an hour lol.. does anyone else feel the same ? !! xx Reply to this Question

 I agree with Dixie, but I have something to add myself.
You know, many people around the world live with less than one dollar (0.5 pounds) a day. That's 3.50 pounds a week. And many of those lives are happy and worth living.
I think your mother is trying to tell you that, yes, you should appreciate what you have; but, also, that money isn't everything. How much would you pay for a sincere friendship? And money can't give you that.
