Who gives a fcuk
My housemate and I both do the same job, same wages etc. We differ somewhat however;
He went out and bought a 350Z on finance, and owes about 20k on it. He's always skint, watching the pennies, not really being financially comfortable as a result.
I however, bought a 2ltr Mondeo for under a grand, kicked about for 18months, and put a few grand away in savings, cleared all my debts (bar student loan), and have never really worried about money, always had plenty available to me should anything unexpected pop-up or go away on holiday etc.
My housemate is percieved as the more affluent of us, but the truth is somewhat different
Having done that for 18months and set myself up a bit, I have been able to buy a Scooby comfortably, again, not leaving me with cash worries.
Live comfortably! Have your toys, who cares what others think? They usually havent got fcuk all themselves anyway!
