Re: How much do you save?
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?
Do you think we should do a poll on what we spend a month. (Anonymous except for the lowest being Lionheart natch)
I'm horrified by our outgoings here and i still shop at M&S for undies, gym gear and the odd frock and not Harvey Nicks. (though i have a few pairs of spenny shoes).

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...
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..

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 
ah well better to live in a card board box and be happy than in a mansion and not!
