Would you become a nicer person if life was easier?

Yes. But at the moment, I am working so much that I don't really think about other people (which sounds quite selfish, I know). I'm working a full time job, studying for a degree level qualification, as well as trying to get my own business off the ground. It doesn't leave a lot of room for being nice. Fucking hell, if I thought that all this effort now was going to turn me into a nasty piece of shit once I have enough financial security to relax, I wouldn't be doing it. Nah, I see philanthropy on my horizon. 😌
