Yes but Napster I have two houses and you dont even have one yet. So guess where my money goes. And before you start mentioning rent for the second property that would be nice if i wasnt such a soft touch to my low income single parent sister who is living there with her two kids.

Also you dont have a wife who is now a full time mum but still thinks she is earning her city salary when she goes out shopping. So my income maybe more than yours but my outgoings are without doubt more than yours.

God that is better than counselling http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Who knows?! I haven't voted in the poll - I've always thought that the details of one's salary was a private matter.

However, from the sounds of it, my outgoings are considerably less than yours, Bob C! I managed to get a top deal on my remortgage, and so I'm now paying less in mortgage for my house (less than £600/month) than a lot of people in London pay for rent on their one room. Marvellous. And I could let out the spare room in my house as well, although my little sis (a styaudent) gets to have that room rent-free, since my parents don't live in the UK, and since I think it's important for her to have somewhere to call "home".

Still, I try not to be a flash barsteward...still driving my 14 yr-old Peugeot with 120K on the clock... I guess it's good preparation for that moment when I've got kids' mouths to feed and large mortgages to repay...

<span style='font-family:comic sans ms'>Why not? Have you ever owned a car?&#33;

We will change our car everytime the warranty runs out - basically, buying on HP, for buying our new car, the money goes down everytime (if you get a car of the same cost), due to more being paid off and so more of a deposit being available from the sale of the older car...

I always drove old bangers, but frankly, if I can, I will always ensure that as a parent I have the best transport available, and if that means getting a new car (and thus a warranty), so beit. What&#39;s the prob?&#33;</span>

Why not spend 1-2k on a half decent car that runs and gets you to A-B than...
FM you are off an running again&#33;

Your theory about retirement is absolute b******s.

Life is very short and you never know when it may end as a friend of mine experienced this week. Three kids, lost his wife after an operation six years ago and lost his own life this week at the age of 45 in a helicopter accident. Three kids orphaned&#33;

You cannot plan for that and a retirement fund is essential but there is no point saving it all for the &quot;R&quot; day. Make sure you will be comfortable and spend happily along the way.

As for a 1-2k car&#33; Not my scene mate as I like my luxurious, prestige posers car&#33;

But not at expense of other things in life.

Perhaps one of the reasons why this country is in so much debt &#33;

I never realised you were so adept at macro economics.

Come on then- Keynes or Milton?

I give up with you&#33;

Such wiseness and life experience from one so young&#33;

I&#39;m off home in my luxurious, prestige 4WD car and I am proud of it&#33;

Bye for now.

Alas, I don&#39;t understand the first thing about Messrs. Friedman and John Maynard... nobody&#39;s perfect, I guess.

Why eat fresh food? May as well rummage around in a bin for something someone else didn&#39;t want. It&#39;ll save you money.

Lots of room due to small penis&#33; Well that&#39;s what Mrs McNasty told me anyway.

It doesn&#39;t matter how much I earn (which is a nice tidy sum thank you very much) as Mrs ORMs spending habits (and her wobbly bits) increase disproportionately to my earnings.

I&#39;m sure I&#39;d be richer than I am now if I earned 1/3rd of my current gross.

No wonder I have difficulty with crosswords&#33;

It was late in the day after a very traumatic week&#33;

It&#39;s not very nice discussing details with an insurance company as to how a friend lost his life&#33;
