I'm not going to underestimate the dedication of football fans. And I do feel someone could get by on £150k if they had to. Obviously they'd need to live an ascetic lifestyle, eating only porridge and drinking only lukewarm water. With luck they'd make it through winter.

- cjbgkagh 2y agoHuh, I do not. I guess most of the people I know in this space I knew prior to 2015 and the field was not as widely popular back then.
