changing culture and moving away from family ? double wtf
as a bloke, and as a contractor your duty is to stop paying two rents. start living in a tent or a sh1thole and save money. buy a house and stick her and the kid in it. err thats it
or get rid

how the feck do we get these contractors who've contracted for a lifetime and ain't got no savings ?Still, 12 years is a lot. I reckon I am saving on a 1:1 basis even when my wife is unemployed though I have put some into shares and pensions so the warchest itself is a little lower. I'd expect to have 5-10 years' warchest after 10 years. But then I don't have kids to pay for.Originally posted by doodab View PostIt's easy, you take one with savings and give him an unexpected family and 12 months out in a two year period.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
