Boxing day (after spending a small fortune on crap for Xmas) - we need a new kitchen..
Yesterday - I want to drop my hours in work.
Today - We need a garage extension.
As for me, I dont spend a great deal. Dont see the need in having a flash motor, etc etc just want enough have a decent holiday and not stress about money.....
About 9 months ago (as a permie), we had about £25K of credit card debts = not too cool. With the help of permie redundancy and 7 months of contracting, its down to about £10K now (all low balance transfers so no big deal). And I've got 6 months money saved in warchest.
But no, wifes eyes light up when she realises how much I earn. Doesnt seem to realise that paying off credit cards means less outgoings, and that her salary (albeit minimal when compared to mine) might be quite important when I aint got a contract. Does my chunk in.
Although, just remembered someone on her recently who;d been contracting for 4 years solid and his mrs has spent the lot and he had no warchest. Oh dear - not quite that bad...
