Honestly I can't fathom how they get by month by month on beans full time wage and her selling her stuff and saying she puts money back into her bizznissss.
Unless bean is on decent money.
I am under the impression that renting down south is dearer than up north but then again we were paying £625 a month on our two bed flat and thats in Manchester area.
They have bought a van so god knows how much they are spending on 'doing it up'. They seem to have a lot take aways....we have one a month on pay day and make it a decent one like a chinese or indian and we enjoy it. Not had mcdonalds or kfc for ages as I can't do with spending over £10 on two meals when I can make something at home that would taste better and be more satisfying.
I'd love a ninja but cannot justify the cost of one right now.
I cook almost each night and there are always left overs for another night or lunches for work the day after. Nothing extravagant, spag bol, chilli, stir fry, tray bakes, pasta dishes. Yeah I will chuck a pizza or pie and chips in the oven and am guilty of ready meals sometimes when I can't be arsed or if we need to be at my mums that evening. Its all in the planning. If no hot left overs for lunch then its sandwiches, tuna pasta or soup for work lunches. I try not to buy branded food where I can.
We put our heating on of the night because we don't spend on crap like porta potties or take aways and i'm lucky in that my husband can drop me off at work and pick me up as we work similar hours. I can't call anyone for not going out to pubs as we are very introverted and like to stay in. We have like minded friends and often enjoy nights in drinking wine with them to meeting up in pubs. Done all the going out clubbing and raves years ago so it's way out of our systems now.
We have no qualifications so we just have regular customer service jobs but we get by and like that come 5pm we can just switch off and forget about it until the next day.
Buy no way could we survive on one and a bit income each month. If one of us ended up out of work then we would be applying for agency work the very next morning which has happened in the past. Not an option to not work, we'd lose our house for a kick off! Never been out of work for longer than a week.
Does she not realise that if she got a full time job, any job doesn't have to be fancy or go getting, and knuckle down for a while they could save a decent amount for a deposit on that much longed for mortgage of hers? Not saying she should be a home owner by now and nothing wrong with renting but she bleeted on so much about it wouldn't you have thought she would have done something about it?? Or even be able to put the heating on?
She must get lonely in that flat on her own in the day, no work colleagues to bounce off during the day, no banter just that of her faceless tiktok viewers who could be anyone. If she puts money back into the bizznisss then she's either making a loss or pennies in profit. Why is her shelf jam packed full of stock? Is it not selling or something?
It must be in the back of beans mind that his wife is lazy and has zero work ethic. I wonder what his pals think?
Either beans on a decent wage or they are balls deep in credit card debts.
