The salaries pro athletes especially football players earn can be astronomical. And it’s not that we’re denying the skill, pressure and physical toll of participating in organised sports on such a level, but sometimes, these eye-watering numbers for, essentially, playing games for a living, can really defy comprehension. Generally speaking, it’s naive to think that salary reflects the amount of work put in. We know that in the world of capitalism, that simply isn’t the case.

5 Reasons Why You Should Treat Yourself to Nice Things*
This post contains a product placement for Daisy London Like with most people at the turn of the year, I decided to set myself some resolutions. Not all of them were goals, some were just things I wanted to do to get the very most out of my life. One of these was not depriving myself of the nicer things in life.

A few years back I put together a post about things I hated about “adulting”. I was 28 and I can honestly say in the last 6 years (and of course the last few we’ve lived through a Pandemic) things have only felt even harder. This year especially.
