I've never been so busy.
I am generally of the oppinion that if I can't afford it, I don't get it.
I have also been careful not to overstretch myself so bought a house at a price point where the mortgage is comfortably affordable. I delayed buying so I could go in with a big deposit and access prime lending rates. I could probably "afford" double what I have, maybe a bit more but I'd be sat in a flash house with no life other than servicing the mortgage.
I could go 12 months comfortably. Maybe 2 years with a seriously tightened belt. Also at any given point I made sure I'm at least 6 months ahead with my mortgage payments and my provider allows me to just call up and stop them if I need to.
In fairness, I don't spend a lot of money. I thought I'd spent a fortune when my long term bullet project came out at around £6k over the two years it took me to build it. I have mates who'll flip bikes for more than that every 2-3 years. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |

Wotcha.
I suppose I'm lucky in as much as I don't have any debts or commitments. House was bought and paid for years ago.
The compensation from my accident will take care of me for the rest of my life . . . . on the downside, the accident injury prevents me from enjoying the money I got because of the accident.
Ah well - such is life. ____________________ Cheers.
