i could buy a decent motor say spending 30-40K (of my own cash)but then having to watch the pennys for the house.. missus kids ect...
or i could sit back... buy a shit car and never have to worry about my bills for the next 2 years at all... with loads left over for other things, good holidays ect
what you lot think??
i only posted this becuse of another thread where people are bleating about people earning 50K plus and still driving a shit ford...WTF
You really have got the hump aint ya
Some people clearly are lying about what they earned to make themselves feel better or look better or to make people who earn less look inferior. While I am sure this not the case for the majority, it is a case none the less.
I said to you that "when you earn more, you tend to spend more and some of the 50k+ earners are gurning about spending £20 a year on PF membership"
I agree with having a decent reliable car that is within your budget and which allows you to still have a decent life. I can probably just stretch to buying a Ferrari 360 but it would mean I would have to change my lifestyle to own this car so I dont believe its worth it.
On a flip slide to this discussion, what about people that are so mortgaged to the hilt they can not to have a holiday, go out or have no disposable income.
