Earn quite a lot, spend quite a lot.
Precarious enough I reckon. Recent developments should leave us with a bit of breathing room, but the investment threads make me uncomfortable as I haven’t a clue what people are talking about.
House is near enough paid off, and hope to build in galway fairly soon, but neither are investments, and neither will provide any income.
Put it this way, I never ever dreamed that we could earn this much, and still have nothing much left at the end of the month. School fees are a killer.
In our favour is its all crap, and we’d be as happy with less.

Genuine question, what does “looked after” mean? And is this by insurance policy or savings?
You need a financial advisor.
I know. Its making me feel uneasy recently. I suppose I’m getting tired. Tired of work and tired in general. I want to go home, but I’m stuck for a bit yet.

I’m well ahead of where I thought I’d be 5…10…15 years ago. (I wonder who this will drive absolutely demented first).

No not yet kid. I have nothing to do with it bar paying for it. It’s totally her project. The only thing I’m involved in our renovations is that I bought a new shed and lawnmore

The gilded cage. increases in income over years means most people build one to the size of their income without ever meaning to.

I’d be comfortable of I hadn’t a house to pay for. I earn about 3500 a month on average (depending on the number of days worked, as I am a contractor). The mortgage is 1100; the killer is a personal loan payment of 419 per month, which was needed to finish the house. Herself has a similar loan. I save about 850 a month which is probably excessive but I still have to a bathroom and to landscape outside to do. It’s frustrating that we are spending so much on a house instead of holidays etc but it keeps herself happy.
