tatsblisters 7,950 Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 I work in a courier delivery warehouse and for the time of year it's the quietest i have seen it the 8 year's i have been their . I am fortunate that the wife works in care and we both get small pensions from previous employment and it wont be as devastating to us like it will to younger working class couples who i think it will be a wake up call to some about debt and borrowing. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My daughter and her boyfriend moved over to Swansea for his work (he is some kind of scientist !) and she is a PA for some big firm in London which she does remotely, they are on over a grand a week between them, no kids, no debt, no credit cards, car is owned, just a rented house and they are going to move back soon because they don’t have hardly any money left to themselves every week ! She phoned me last night and just said “this is shit Dad”……they don’t want to just work for the man and I don’t blame them. f**k all future for young people in that country now. 6 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Madness mate your Daughter and her boyfriend should have their own property if the system was not rigged to have more folk renting than buying. Lad's at work who rent cannot believe me when i tell them i worked six months solid overtime at the pit to get a grand deposit on a terraced house for 9 and half grand in 1981 in a decent area as they know they will never own their own home. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel cain 42,888 Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 We Bought a burger van few weeks back and did a complete refit,all brand-new kit-just put the Mrs out to work in it this week. averaging 200/250 a day on the first week...fingers crossed it keeps building up for us,Mrs is working the pub still evenings and running her events business on weekends etc,I'm working 6/7 days a week most weeks..got to do what you got to do to survive....heard rumours things will start to slow down but I'm not worried to be honest...there's always a way to earn money,if your hungry for it,cut back on a few none essentials and it's all good 13 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They can live by the beach in Donegal for an absolute fraction of the money and she can still do her job mate, then they can enjoy a bit of travelling while they are still young and save a few quid as well. Wouldnt take them long to save up enough to buy a little do up place outright here……exactly how it should be imho mate. Im just happy that they ain’t like me and can only see the graft, some of these young people have a better world view than I ever did and they are seeing the bigger picture earlier in their lives than I ever did too.

I agree with you mate and as parents we only want the best for them and more importantly to be happy. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
