Time to find work and give up being member of Endies

READING a Sunday paper last weekend I discover I belong to a demographic known as Endies – Employed No Disposable Income or Savings.

Time to find work and give up being member of Endies

I have belonged to this demographic for about 15 years, but until I read about it, I didn’t know it had a name. (Prior to that I belonged to the Undies – Unemployed No Disposable Income or Savings. Actually, I just made up Undies, although not the bit about being unemployed and penniless all through the Nineties.) These days I am also a Mutt – Mortgaged Upto The Ti…. sorry, Teeth.

At least when you’re unemployed you expect to be skint, but if you’re a single parent of two expensive kids and work in print journalism, unless you are editing the New York Times, the chances of being one of the Endies is high.
