How tight are you?

Is that advice free or is there a price tag?

Priceless.

I have outsourced all my spending to the missus
She spends it, monitors the spending, then reports back every now and then to tell me everythings ok

I do not like people who know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

Clichéd but apt

While we're talking about money, I'd just like to point out - CABLE & WIRELESS WORLDWIDE Chart CW. CW-.L - Interactive Investor

Which I bought £60k in at 49p a few days back for the 9% divvy.

GET IN THERE MY SON!!!

And b4 you mention it Churchy. Yes. I am boasting.

Jolly well done.

WHS.

And I'm much better off for it.

'It's worth remembering that to many people not having to worry about paying the bills is an almost inconceivable luxury. '

WHS x100. Amazing how much I missed this when skillset value fell to NMW + a quid. REALLY appreciate this again now I am back earning decent coin.
Happy to spend a bit on the way through (weakness for cars, almost cured) but reserves have to be earning their keep and building for the future. Money = choices and that is a luxury.

Got a chunk of CWW myself, its easing upwards heading towards divi day but expect a kicking afterwards. Fundamentals are patchy and only a takeover is likely to change the picture.

What do you think the share price is going to do on the ex-div date?

It will of course drop 3 pence Mr Prawn as you are fully aware.

Of course at a yield of 9%, it means the share is undervalued and should in theory increase in the run up to the 8th. So anywhere between 55-60 is a super billy bonus.

Though it is odd. KCOM has gone up 20% on a much lower divvy in the last week. So it's not an exact science.

yeah but Norahhe luv, you'er still in self denial refusing to invest in one of these...

[Clippy]

I gotta say,

a lot of the people I come across with the flash cars, X5's, RR Sports etc, they've got it all on the never never and nothing to back it up and if their cashflow stops they´re fecked I dunno how they do it I wouldn't be able to sleep

Not round my way - a lot of the yoof have conned HMRC into funding their vehicles (ferraris, lamborghinis etc).

i.e. carousel fraud.

I think I can afford a discretionary expense if I can pay for it, not just this time, but on as regular a basis as is applicable, out of investment income, even if I live forever. (To be clear, I'm assuming that non-discretionary expenses are already indefinitely sustainable from investment income.)

I think I would need a net worth of paid for home plus £1 million before I could justify buying a new car.

On the other hand, I took skiing holidays even when out of work and in negative equity, on the basis that if you don't use this winter's snow when it's there, it's an opportunity lost forever.
