Whether tongue in cheek or not, your last sentence negates the points made earlier in your post. But anyway.........
Not really. Your the one who said your earning peanuts even though your earning more then others so you agree with my last point dont ya'.
Anyway I earn £25,000 a year (peanuts by voinjama's terms) doing 35 hours a week and not a single minute more! My household bills are £350 a month also as share the rest with my gf. £200 in transport costs. £150 for meals and nights out a month. £30 a month fone bill and I can easily save £800 a month and go on 5 trips abroad a year. Its all about living within your means.
My mate is on £65k a year yet is broke as fack. Stupid ott mortgage, paying £300 a month to lease a car, spends £100 a week on nights out, spends lots on weed and booze, yet wonders why he is broke despite earning nearly 3 times I am.
I say again...all about living within ones needs.
