Mustn't grumble

I get annoyed by the way that I always have just barely enough money these days - whatever my income at any given moment, there's always some expense that matches it exactly with nothing to spare. But I can't really feel like I'm desperately impoverished, because then I remember that I've had trips to America and China this year that have been paid for by memorising a few numbers, which you'd have to say makes me a lucky kind of person.

I could still do with winning the lottery, though.
