“If for London the 1980s was the decade of yuppies, now the capital finds itself home to the "endies" – Employed but with No Disposable Income or Savings. Feeling unloved, overworked and ignored, endies are becoming disillusioned with their lot, according to a report⟳ from the Centre for London that suggests there are now about a million modest earners in the capital.”

“An Endie typically earns between £20,000 and £33,000 as an individual or a single parent, or between £20,000 and £33,000 as couples with dependent children. They have⟳ to shop⟳ at the supermarket – usually Lidl or Aldi – after 8pm when the produce⟳ that has reached its sell⟳ by date⟳ is reduced in price.”

“Endies live⟳ quiet and modest lives largely hidden from view⟳ for a simple reason⟳: most cannot afford⟳ to go out. Life is an endless treadmill of work⟳, commuting and recovering at home, often with the Internet for company and little other respite.”

“Or we should embrace another side-effect of being Endies, and start⟳ moving in with people sooner rather than later.”
