Just for fun 
who do you envy and why?

Having watched Wimbledon this week I think I envy being a top tennis player, all that sun and cash! Mostly the cash tbh.
I also envy a friend of mine who has a well equipped workshop.

    I know what you mean @Sandy_123, but if I won big I think I’d be worried about my security. I’d definitely not want publicity.

    I'd be anonymous for that reason, but I would help all my family and close freinds and then others, i also believe if it's meant to be ill win 1 day

    Like @woodbine says I used to envy all the people in the world who are able to go through life without having to worry about disability. I.e. they can make a cup of tea or go for a drive without even thinking about it and probably don’t even fully appreciate what they are able to do. However now I try not to envy anybody and try to just enjoy what I do have.

    PS @leeCal I am guessing you are into DIY and woodwork etc.? My Dad is very very much into that kind of thing and he can definitely relate to being envious of anyone with a well equipped workshop. He has to make do with a small shed in the garden.

    I envy anyone who doesn't live with a noisy eater.

    As others, I'm not sure I really envy anyone, otherwise I'd envy almost everyone!

    But in the spirit of the thread I envy people that are able to attend music festivals such as Glastonbury etc!  Something I'd really like to do, but know I'd hate the crowds even if I could manage travel & accommodation.

    One thing I don't envy is rich people...the last couple of years have shown me that money makes no difference to my problems, ultimately it's just a number on a banking app!

    Yes @66Mustang You’re right I still like diy and I have a very small shed which is full of junk. I’d love a bigger shed and less junk. 🙂

    Perhaps you'll see them yourself one day @Biblioklept? Hopefully so :) 

    I don't really get envious of anybody apart from the occasional fleeting moment. In those instances I'm normally envious of those with so much money that it isn't even a concern for them, and those who have normal vision, because I've never known what that is like.
