    All well and good to help family out when they need it but you've got to remember that you're going to have a new family soon.
    We were very poor up until i finished study, and she sacrificed a lot to allow me study. Now payback time

      I was just asking how skint we talking like. i.e. Skint as in can't afford to live or skint as in cant afford expensive things.

      If its first one fair enough, but if its 2nd then I think he needs to focus more on other things like his own family rather than pure cash.

        Fair play to you then.

        I dont know your (or her) personal situation. My take on it though is don't focus too much on cash and how much you can earn and how much you can splash on your mum. If shes in real financial difficulty then fair play its different. But dont kill yourself just to buy her a 60" TV.

        JUST SAYING, you ain't going to be any good to anyone if you work yourself into an early grave or make yourself ill by overdoing it. AND of course, you've got your new son/daughter to think of as well.
