These two are pioneers for the many more who live beyond their means these days though not always through their own fault. It would be interesting to have seen how they got on through the 70s to today.
I’ve always appreciated how well my parents managed within their means but now I admire them even more. At the same time when these two were living their extravagant lifestyle and spiralling into debt my parents were supporting 4 children on what I imagine was around half the amount these two were earning (as neither of my parents were professionals). They worked incredibly hard and we never wasted a single penny. My mum worked in the fields picking fruit (and she was able to take me with her). Yes ‘times were tough’ as they say, I knew we were poor compared to other children I went to school with (and I was envious) but we also had wonderful evenings as a family playing games and laughing together. That’s priceless. I’m thankful that because of their sacrifices they were able to enjoy many years of retirement and happiness in Brittany and helped set me and my sisters on a better path.
We bemoan the BBC many times for all sorts of valid reasons, but they’ve always made wonderful documentaries. A snapshot of a bygone age that I remember very clearly as a child is really captivating. Particularly in how strongly a once Great Britain contrasts against social, environment, political and cultural mess of today. Only thing great today is the archive quality of this documentary 😊
@@ColtraneTaylorThe Conservatives are about to be trounced because so many non “conservative Brits” also don’t think there’s much great about today’s Britain.
@@phillipecook3227 yeah there’s nothing that political parties have done in the last few years that could possibly damage the standard of living of the average person. So why bring ‘party politics’ into it. I like to make whatever reactionary decisions at the ballot box I want. And I should not have to think about any of the consequences.
We don't know how to manage our money but we would like to open our own business. If they were interviewing for a business loan from a bank they would be turned down. BBC Archive is one of the most entertaining and educational channels to watch on YT.

That interview was horrifying, but at the same time illuminating. The whole financial services industry depends on people like them.

I would love an update on those two to see if this cruel,cruel world has given them everything they think they think they should have , or if it continues to " persecute" them Heartbreaking....
That was probably the saddest part. They didn't actually seem very happy even though they were "living the dream", they ust looked stressed and worried.
Amazing watching two 1968 films back-to-back; this one versus the compulsory purchase orders in Oldham wrecking family homes and businesses. Different worlds.

Drawn a bit of a blank on this pair. All I can find is that they lived in Earls Court, Tony was 25 when this was filmed, went to Liverpool Uni and taught at a Girl's Comp school in Southwark.
The racecourse looks like Ascot. A £10 spend for the day! Would cost well over £100 today just for entry for the pair especially if it was the Royal meeting. A couple of pieces of chicken and chips would cost over £20.
@@joelehane1 As i said, it will be well over £100 but it depends on which enclosure. One can purchase tickets today for Tuesday in the Windsor Enclosure for £49 each or in the Queen Anne for £90 each.
Epsom rather than Ascot I think, and possibly free on the inside (you can see the stands are on the other side of the course). Probably the day before Sir Ivor won the Derby, the week before this episode of Man Alive was shown.
Possibly right, i thought at first glance it was Ascot, and I've been to both tracks, but I am not going to spend too much time researching it.@ramruma6330
It's amazing how cheap everything was back then and they still spend above their income. What is so interesting is that they don't actually know what they are spending their money on. They are so irresponsible - I would not want to employ these sorts of people. "We resent people who have money too" - what a messed up character! I have kept track of every penny I have spent for the past 17 years using Microsoft Money and I am still surprised at how people don't know what they are spending money on.
A household income of 2k in 1968 per CPI figures is circa 30k in today's money as of time of this comment. So a pair doing 40 hours per week on minimum wage these days would make 40k before tax. Though of course, the cost of housing has gone up a fair bit more than CPI would indicate.
Twits, I wonder how it ended up, lucky for them, high inflation was just around the corner, and if they stopped digging the hole, the debt would diminished rapidly
To be fair, he is punching a bit with Jill. She seems quite nice and pretty, but he seems very sour and chippy. I reckon that in 1974 Jill found a well-endowed 1970's moustachioed He-Man with chest hair, flowing locks and a big gold medallion, while he was left snivelling in a damp flat heated by one candle, moaning about being poor and jealous, and slurping cold Bovril out of an empty Fray Bentos pie tin.
£20 a week as a teacher. Today he'd be on around £900 a week based on the mid-range of the teachers' pay scale for inner London that goes from £37k to £57k pa.
A 1 room flat in the centre London, £8 a week! I think it's more like £500 a week now, if not more. Doing some math, in 1968 the average teachers salary was around £1600 PA, in London now, it's around £37000 That's roughly 23 times more. If we take that £8 a week and multiply it by 23, that's £184 pounds. It's therefore almost 3 times more expensive to rent in central London now, than it was in 1968. And this video shows how people struggled back then - to us looking back, it feels a whole lot better than where we've got to, doesn't it?
I understand that it seems like it should make a difference but it doesn’t. Currency was decimalised while keeping the value of the pound the same. We are indeed three times poorer in this regard (housing)
@@Loupdelou-ly1ve Haha! It would be interesting to find out. ( Who knows... maybe they've changed over the years and are embarrassed by how they behaved in the past).

I can see how a lot of people today would find what I've just written difficult to believe, because people today wouldn't have the same discipline in not pestering their favourite celebrities.
tbh I have no idea what blah blah blah an amount of money meant back in 1968. I'm too young! I just know I've never been in debt just to keep up with the neighbours in some meaningless tit for tat competition. And ffs they actually wrote begging....sorry, "loan" letters to people from "Who's Who"????? 🙄
Living beyond ones means, just to keep up with a certain upper-class strata of life, is not a formula for a long and happy life.... And being a good wife, she is doing what she can for her husband, but one can imagine that she would like to have a family, and so the family should Focus on what they need not what he needs....
