I lost a pound to get my BMI right in the middle of perfect and life changed for me within hours. It's been a constant hill climb but my hill has no top. I'm earning 4 times what I was earning when I had my epiphany and now dont even count money, I just spend it as I please. Houses paid for. Tenants happy out. I'm home a few weeks and have started getting involved in community work. That's like money for the soul, it's the real payment.

You live in a cheap house.I live in a four bedroom house and done it up to a high spec and a lovely big garden. Its also a 2 story bungalow. You drive a **** car.No, Its a perfect car for driving from A to B. Why would you waste money on a depreciating asset?? Just because a car is dearer doesn't make it a better car You don't have a girlfriend or wife.And I want to keep it that way You have a little bit of cash left over at the end of the month and you travel a lot.I have 2300 quid to do what I please with, I wouldn't call that a little bit of money. Might take a trip to California once the cornavirus settles down or maybe Australia for a month, who knows

lickalot wrote: » Not a bad wage outside of Dublin. I should be on 60K soon. My house is stunning, four bedroom bungalow with huge garden? Wonder how much the same would cost in Dublin? Probably 500K or more I would imagine. So why would you call it a cheap house? I could get a new car in the morning. Why waste money on something that just gets you from A to B and depreciates in value. The 5 minute drive into work is also brilliant.

The issue, I guess, is you've surrounded yourself with people who are doing badly, so by comparison you think you're doing well. But when you compare yourself with the rest of society you're just doing "OK". You are lower middle class. I'm glad you're happy though.
