        I hardly spend any of my take home, not that I earn a fortune, well a small fortune maybe, but I just do not have a desire to go out and spend money for the sake of it.

        I fear the girlie's hormonal desires are going to ruin that for me in the near future.

          Same with other new and shiny things. Or clothes. Or gadgets.
          I'm bored with my Imac already.

          Maybe antiquarian and rare books.
          Maybe you need to get a life. What a sad act. Your age, and you still don't have any idea

              Out with a friend the other night who agreed with his wife to go for 'one more' to add to the two they already had. They got twins and now its "I earn 90 grand a year and I am going to be poor until I die"

                Oh it's all downhill. When you hit two the cost of the childcare is astronomical, so only one of you can work. Then you have to provide an allowance for the other. Then comes the resentment. TheN the pressure!! Of course as a contractor it means the warchest goes quicker, you then have to work to stay afloat. It no longer becomes the free and easy way of life.

                You need two cars! They have to be practical!!! You have to turn gigs down due to their location!!!! Grrr!

                Anyway. Don't let me but you off. Kids hey! You can't eat a whole one

                  Send me 70% of your income then you will start appreciating the value of money all over again. It's a service I provide, selflessy.

                  PM me for further details.

                  This goes for anyone else with this problem.

                  Oh, and, your welcome.
