paulus 26 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 This has been the hardest year financially. Living alone now has made sure of that. But I've managed. Got this fishing thing... When really I can't afford it cause I have Ayia Napa the following week... Another thing I shouldn't have booked but f**k it your only young once. I've always been good with money, always been the one with plenty cash, fast cars, good clothes and never miss a trip away. All changed now though......Even have to buy food stuff in the cheapo section...... Pisses me off!!!! We heard you the first time! You'll not get no sympathy! Bloody I phone..... Lol iPhone?

My mates mortgate is £1300 a month! Admittedly his house is stunning, but he's still not happy and wants to sell up and get a bigger house. His mrs moans at him about it but the more he earns the bigger the house he wants, if he could learn to be happy with just a normal sized house he'd be minted but for some reason he's got this obsession with owning a massive house. It's very rare you get someone who earns loads and doesn't stretch themselves a bit with either house or car or both....funny thing the human mentality isn't it! Another thing that always confuses me, when someone has a car that they like, and then trade it in for a newer car but the same model....you get in it and it's exactly the same as the one they had before and yet they've paid 3/4/5 grand just for a different number on the front! shelling out for a better car is fair enough, but I can't get my head around trading up for nothing other than a newer version of exactly the same thing, weird! I know it's the whole keeping up with the Jones' thing, I'm just glad I couldn't give a rats ass what the Jones' have!! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,568 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Our part of Nottingham was known as 'the land of the Chinese rent-man'. When he came to the door,one of the children, usually the youngest, would be sent to answer.Rent-man says "Can I see your Mum?", and he is told "Sh'int in." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 It's interesting to see how the crunch has hit different parts of the country at different times. A year ago I was f****d, but now it seems to be on a very slow but steady climb back to where we once were. Fingers crossed. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the_stig 6,614 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 This'll be a big couple of years for me, built our (me and brother) business up for 15 years and then last January we merged with the man I first learnt from, giving us a much bigger concern, more headache and problems but hopefully the rewards to match. To come off the tools and run it was a big decision for me, but it would seem it was the right one.. We've picked up a lot of work enough for the rest of this year and 2 contracts that will be going for 3-4 years... I'm not counting my chickens though, 3 years ago we nearly lost the lot ( literally) when the shit dropped down hill from tescos and caught us at the bottom for over 40k, I learnt a few hard lessons there.... We'd worked our bollocks off all over the country and we still ended up close to being homeless... We'll see though, as my Dad always says " keep your head down and your ass up"........ Shit that sounds so wrong lol I stayed smallish 4 full time and a few subbies -- any spare cash I put into property and a bit of land and sold it when it was right --took a few years paid contract managers job then called it a day ..got some holiday lets that bring in a decent wage and then my bit of buying and selling to keep me active ...choose the time you want to get out and plan for that -- hope it all works out for you look at a good private pension aswell Bit of spare cash to buy property and land We get the idea, you're minted Once you have some money it's easy to make a lot of money, it's getting to the some from none that's tricky. I really do need to get a bit more motivated but it's tricky to decide if it's better to have more leisure time with limited money or more money but less time to spend it, I am currently trying to find the best of both. That's a no brainer. You cant take it with you and your only here once so you might as well enjoy yourself. Some of the most miserable c**ts I've had the misfortune of knowing/working for have been loaded. Fook it I hav`nt been a slave to work and I`ve spent a few quid along the way...

rob190364 2,593 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Money cant buy happiness no.....but if everything else is in place it can certainly make you a lot happier! Nobody can tell me they're just as happy struggling as they would be being proper comfortable..I just dont buy it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
