Interesting article this morning discussing how many Australians live payday to payday, but also seem to have no idea how rich they are compared to others, or how much they need for retirement.
I'm shocked! Well, not that shocked.

I already posted it in my journal because it's so hilarious and sadly, accurate. My office is filled with people on dual six figure incomes talking about how they'll be stuck working until 70 because "life is so expensive these days" :-(
