    5 years' savings would buy a reasonably nice house eh. I tend to try and think a little differently though, in that when house prices settle down a bit then try to buy (cheaper) investment property every 2 or 3 years - in cash. That way, in about 10 years' time you could have 5 freehold investment properties hopefully generating around £3k income a month.

    But surely she gets a big chunk of the future income while she sits on her @rse all day watching Jeremy Kyle and having her @arse knocked off by the milkman. Unless it goes on your PAYE salary! i.e. a big percentage of ferk all

    Well only if you are unfortunate enough to have got yourself into that particular predicament, but I doubt that is the norm. That said, I expect you will be back here shortly manacled to the forum and dressed as Spider-Man eh?
