Also the Mrs should work too, my wife always has instead of sitting on their fat arse on Instagram all day

Why should they ??

My missus ain't worked on the payroll for 22yrs..yes she works..looking after the house and bringing up 3 lads..

I would much prefer her doing that than working..

Back in the day the man worked the wife stayed at home..most people from that generation turned out as decent sorts..

A higher % of today's young adults have zero manners..they are even stabbing each other to death..such crimes were a lot rarer back in the day..

Ask yourself why..

your either a worker or a sherker

[THE STIFFMEISTER 14,553]

I could personally say that my misses holds my house and life together . 
 

all this stay at home nonsense didn’t work for us . It’s a big ask for a girl whose worked from 15 to wrap it all in at 32 to look after the kids and sit and scrimp and save . Both ours went to nursery , we lived within our means but it wasn’t enough . Not sure if anyones brought up kids lately but it’s a dear doo , with clothes , days out etc but what are you meant to do ? 

Let them go about like urchins ? 
Keep them in the house all day ?
 

I’ve seen kids of 16 going round in f***ing Dora the explorer tracksuits and play kerbie all summer . How can you look your kids in the eye from your 70” telly giving them a childhood like that ? 

unless your putting 50k a year away , you need 2 wages . My misses knocks her pan in with the kids in the week and does a full time job .  I’m back at weekends and pick up the slack to let her crack on. 

A man once told me a long time ago price is what you pay , value is what you get . 

you certainly get value looking at your kids and misses dressed up tidy , hair done , looking semi respectful when you go about . You get value half hour later when they’re in a river chest high , throwing stones , you get value looking back at photos and then saying “ that was a good day dad” or “remember when we did this mam “ . 

you don’t get value watching Netflix on the buggest telly in the street or going to school in the biggest chuckied motor or act afraid to do anything as your mortgaged into your life . 

life’s not about forward planning but r organising anything , it’s about ducking about , have a crack with people you live and like . I might not leave them with millions apiece , but at least when I’m getting fired in the deck , I only hope my little uns say “ we had fun when we were little “

Charts easy to say once retired but kids nowdays will struggle to get on the property ladder and that’s wrong.

Anyone willing to go to work 40 hours per week should be able to afford their own home and when the system is fixed to stop that then the system is broke .

I never mentioned getting on the property ladder ?

Im talking about living within our means.

I agree it's extremely difficult to get onto the property ladder, but I know plenty of 30-40 year olds, including relatives, who have maxed out credit cards, overdrafts, up to their eyes in debt, just to have the latest iPhone and a new leased motor.

Their priorities seem to be live for today, "keep up with the Jones's ".

My priority would be to live within my means and save up the deposit for a mortgage.

But each to their own.....I choose my path, it may not be the path others choose.

Cheers.

that's where I'm at,good post that Stiff

you can throw as much money as you got at  them...but I think making good memories and enjoying stuff together as a family is more important overall
