its only money right- the sad thing is of the few millionaires I have know they still want something else. After all it is just money and you cant take it with you. What makes you rich is your friends and family ( yeah right give me the cold hard cash lol)

Re: How much do you save?
 

interestingly I did write about this today, some things are pricey but try and remember everything that is cheap, it balances itself out

Re: How much do you save?
 

Yes, that's a good one. Think through it though, as for instance, I pay for school fees, housing, dewa - others don't.

OK. Give me 5 mins.

Re: How much do you save?
 

quite, they are also older, more experienced, willing to make other sacrifices etc. all about balance.

Re: How much do you save?
 

I save what I consider to be a decent amount every month, and if I compare to when we were in the UK it is like night and day.

In the UK I was lucky to have some cash left at the end of the month (which was then usually spent on holidays or what have you) whereas here I am able to comfortably save a decent amount whilst paying off all my debts back in the world. And my god there is a huge love for short term debts in the UK. Once those debts are paid off then there is more to save...:thumbsup:

Now if only my wife gets a job as well, which is the plan eventually, we would actually be quite literally minting it. I know lots of people earn serious amounts more than me (Millhouse's example is just disgusting), but if you go around dreaming about what could have been and how much your acquaintances make then life will indeed be very sad..

Or had a better education, got into a high paying profession and had a few stokes ofgood luck along the way! (not me, by the way!)

Anyway, I voted - and no I'm not the credit junky.

Re: How much do you save?
 

Ok so if you had your time again would you choose a career that had big bucks in it? My earning is relatively modest here but I love what I do and can't imagine doing anything else. Now alll I need is a husband who earns big bucks lol- having said that I am still pulled towards creative men- who inevitably are not big earners :rolleyes: ah well better to live in a card board box and be happy than in a mansion and not!

Re: How much do you save?
 

and two of us are saving 30-40k a month, good on them :)

Re: How much do you save?

Re: How much do you save?
 

it definitely helps, I'd rather be crying in a Maserati than my Pajero.

wouldn't change a thing really. I guess the year in personal insurance was a waste of time but didn't do me any harm and set me up for the next step.
