Wish I could afford to piss money away like that.

Hardly, P. I have in my collection of magazines some electrical and radio trade magazines from the post-war years.
*That* was austerity - "Fancy a new van for your business, Mr. Brown? Just put your name on this waiting list and hopefully you'll get one in two years' time. The manufacturers might even produce something for you to sell in your shop in the meantime."
Rationing that lasted until the early 1950s, shortages everywhere.
What people think is austerity now is not being able to get that 84" telly on credit this weekend, or having to wait for a Samsung Galaxy S22.
But yes, watching every penny because you don't know when your next job is coming is a pain in the bum.
I was being a bit tongue in cheek re the concept of "austerity" in the UK nowadays, PM.
"Eat. Drink. Enjoy the work you do. Be thankful for the blessings God gives you in this life. Live, love and seek out the things that bring your heart joy. The rest is meaningless... Like chasing the wind." King Solomon
