I recall a conversation i had a few years ago with a mate who had been made redundant and his house was on the line etc.

I suspect that it is a lot more stressful being in that situation, especially if you have a wife and young kids, ie unemployed, possibly nowhere to live, how to feed your family etc

What about the millions around the world who earn less than $1/day, ahve to trawl through garbage etc.

I think these things are much more stressful.

Don't get me wrong, after all I flew commercially for 20 years, ending up as a B747-400 Captain for a major carrier, and know the stresses involved, but believe it pales into insignificance compared to 'real' life.
