mate it all depends on your wage+hers and how much the mortgaeg costs along with other outgoings! It's hard to say really!

Luckily i owned my bike and cossie before we bought our house and i told my mrs i was NOT selling my toys to fund the house

Finish the series one, then get a house. Depending where you wanna go (plenty of cheap ares around us) you can get a decent mortgage.

With the kinda money you make, you'll be able to buy a palace around here. Best have a sprog too, then the state just throw money at you.

If you could get the girl to develop a drug habit, you could probably retire

Seriously though, I never thought I could afford it, while I stayed at home. As soon as you do it, you realise that you dont pay out as much as you think.

In a month, I pay out about Ł600 for house stuff, but I do have a mega cheap mortgage. So Ł350 for the rest of the bills and stuff.

Moved in last Thursday with my bird first house and all the toys have gone
BMW in sig sold and now pootle about in a newer slightly slower beemer!

unless you both on good wages then it will have to go. you may afford to keep it, but running it is a different matter.

plus the way i saw it, the cash in the car (6.5k) was far better used as a deposit and therefore smaller mortgage than an ornament!

if you buy a house together, make sure you put in equal amounts
that way, if the worst were to happen, you would each have a fair share of the procceds

but think about it very carefully, the longer you wait the more money you need to save, but don't sell the motor, you'll have to get the bus

:
Makes no difference, if you can prove u contributed 80% and 80% of the running costs of the house then a solicitor will make sure you get what you deserve and your fair proportion of the equity

Been there, done it and got the stressed t-shirt.

Bitch though she was having half after a free ride, no fucking chance, i'd have cancelled the insurance and burned it to the ground before that happened

i live in the town that was voted the 2nd most expensive place to buy a house in a recent survey so im fooked , the only way i will ever get my own place is to sell my car (not worth a great deal), sell my body (worth even less), sell a kidney ( hmmmm, maybe ), win the lottery (if only) or rob a bank ( ).

Don't do it mate! They change!



Actually, go for it. But don't sell the S1 to fund it. Like Carlo said, it's a bit tight at first but things soon go back to normal

I had my RS before I bought my place, but she was all bought and paid for. If I owed money on her, she'd have been sold.

Stevenbm - if the car is all bought and paid for, and insurance costs etc are reasonable then keep the car. But, and it's a BIG but..........the house is more important mate.........so if means money would be tight keeping the car, it has to go.
