Gemmill 47074 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 A to B is all that matters. If you're driving a car to be seen in it, you've got 99 problems of which listening to Cypress Hill is but one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14021 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Insurance is costing me £70 per month in my first year of driving, but I leased a C1 which is tax free & rocks 100 mile per gallon on the motorway. And for a first car it looks canny TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're driving a car to be seen in it, you've got 99 problems of which listening to Cypress Hill is but one. You're not wrong but it's easier to see that and learn from it the older you get. Our New Years resolution is to try and cut down on the £1000s a year we waste on complete shite we don't need That said, you spend 99% of your life in your house, car or at work so it's worth making sure all 3 are enjoyable!

Kid Dynamite 7312 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Cheers. I see he's got a leaf. I saved a fortune when I had mine but I gave it up because the charging points were all full of PHEVs. It's getting to the point where hybrids should be banned from public charging spots so pure electric cars can actually get a charge. Those bastards just chug off in their 2l diesel when the electric runs out after 15mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 47074 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 He's a smug cunt at times (a lot of the time), but he's a fundamentalist when it comes to cutting out superfluous spending. Retired at 30 to raise his kid as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 My Christmas present to the J69 household: http://www.mrmoneymustache.com "Are cable TV and Starbucks worth having two income earners each work an extra eight years for???" There isn't a day goes by I don't look at people at work on less than me who buy 2 x £2+ coffees a day and wonder what makes them value a drink at over £1000 of their take home pay. Barn pots.

Gemmill 47074 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 "Are cable TV and Starbucks worth having two income earners each work an extra eight years for???" [emoji38] There isn't a day goes by I don't look at people at work on less than me who buy 2 x £2+ coffees a day and wonder what makes them value a drink at over £1000 of their take home pay. Barn pots. [emoji38] Aye. I've been guilty of it all but my shit is on lockdown now. I don't want to be in the workplace a minute longer than is absolutely necessary. jlcollinsnh.com is of a similar ilk but less smug and more educational.

Happy Face 29 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Well at least you're a self-aware tight cunt. Sounds miserable as fuck mind I'm not tight at all. I buy a few Cullercoats coffees a week and am on my 3rd carry out of the weekend tonight. I'm the first to buy a round and make sure I only leave after getting another round in. £80 a month on coffee is beyond profligate though. Anyone doing that while mortgaged up wants shooting.

The Fish 11076 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Lad I worked with used to come in with a Starbucks every day, buy his lunch from Pret/Eat or the like every day and he'd more often than not pop to the snack machine for a Twix or whatever. Nigh on a tenner a day on food, or £200 a month spent on pretty bang average food and drink. He wasn't exactly raking it in either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
