Because if he hadn’t spent it all on silly cars and holidays he could be taking his foot off the gas now, instead of treading water till the grave, I go to work keeps me fit healthy and out from under her feet , but if all the fuel runs out or the next lockdown arrives I won’t be crying about being skint and how unfair it all is as I,ve made provisions, so I will enjoy a few months wandering the countryside, I know we are all very different, but I calculate most things into days of work, so the 60k Audi that you need to go to the shops in and do the school run, equates to about 2 years graft, Were as my £500 runner cost me a weeks work, so therefore I can take two years off or have a car , to me it’s a no brainier, but I,m obviously wired a bit different to most 11 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What’s so depressing exactly? My rainy days are obviously diffrent to yours. I wasnt having ago at the man but the statement of not being able to save whilst going on about his nice car sky tv etc 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
