absynthfairy Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I have £1.25 until i do some private teaching tonight - and barely enough petrol to get me there. Pay tomorrow though! Not bad considering I earn 30k a year! I always have ways of getting money though - i might get a bit skint (which in my world means only one outfit from primark instead of 12) but I always muddle through. Should save a bit really but i never do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depoix Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 How insensitive can you be? I was made redundant and officially finished on Saturday so am now looking for work to see me through until term starts in September. However, for the sake of the thread's argument, I'd probably last 13 years on my savings and then my pensions would kick in to save me from abject poverty. However(2), I was hoping that my savings and house equity would remain intact until my pensions kicked in. rolling stones = " you dont always get what you want " springs to mind....... :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2J Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Guess I'm lucky that I wouldn't end up on the streets. My parents left my Shrine in tact when I left home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katy1981 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 It has been said that you are a couple of missed pay days to the streets. Is that true. Lets pretend that you lost your main source of income tomorrow. You are unable to find work and have to rely on what you have today. How long would it be before you were unable to pay your rent/bills and ended up on skid row? i could probably pay my rent for a while on what the tax credit give me but it would only leave me with like £8.75 a week to pay bills and food so i guess id be on skid row very quickly!!

dirtybobby Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 However, for the sake of the thread's argument, I'd probably last 13 years on my savings and then my pensions would kick in to save me from abject poverty. What a bummer, Max. Hope things work out for you. yeah, what a bummer it must be only having £260,000 savings, plus a couple of pensions! lol.

I don't think I was being insensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
