cut down on cocaine, prostitutes, cruises and expensive cars. Worked for me.

Yep.. you're not alone.
Penny-pinching here. Fucking train. Fucking London.

seriously. the UK is a load of tit.

I have a not-too-shabby salary for a PhD person but all my money goes on rent, bills and taxes.

It's London for me. And trains. I spend an extraordinary amount of money on my train fare.

I mean the NHS is good. Ireland looks like more of a rip-off to me.
We, as in you (broken arm) and I and our loved ones, should move to a desert somewhere and set up shop there.
Are you on for it?

I'm trying my damndest, but it's crusing I can't seem to kick. Like, I tell myself 'one day at a time' and 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' and 'grant me the strength to stay off the boat', and next thing I know, I wake up with sunlounger squashed into my face, in a daquiri haze on the deck of the Golden Princess. Fucking hell. First it was just socially with friends, and I thought I could control it, but now the cruise ship controls me.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but over the weekend, I had a whole luxury superyacht.

You're not alone. I am not counting change now (but am not far off) and I have been there before. I have even once put my rent on my credit card. Sad but true. You know those checks they send you every now again....worst idea ever. Honestly, I can't think of a time where I haven't lived on a strict budget and I have been working 30 or more hours a weeks since I was 16. The only upside to it all is a sense of appreciation and it does make you more creative out of necessity.

How come you're so broke, Hayworth? jane doesn't have regular work and isn't entitled to the dole, fair enough - what's your excuse? Expensive accommodation? McJob?

p.s. I'm short of money too, FWIW, but that's because I moved into a new not-quite-finished house in March

if you get cheques / cheque book for your credit card account - shred them.

MBNA are bad offenders for this.

a sense of appreciation until you get some cash and go on a mad doobie infused pizza fueled alcohol binge

I concur. Worst idea EVER.

Egg, I am broke because I owed tons of cash for paying for six years of college by myself. This is including, books, supplies, food, transport and accommodation. US schools are not cheap, especially when you choose an art degree and then realize you have no marketable skills and need to go back to school. My profession doesn't pay well in the states, it's slightly better here but I am working off six digit debt.

so are most of ireland, in the form of mortgages, when you think about it. I'm quite calm in that I only owe the bank about 200k.

Indeed, but I certainly wouldn't want to have that kind of debt and then have to pay Dublin rent rates on top of it.

i understand a 6 figure mortgage but not a college debt.

you can't have dinner parties in your degree.

personal debt in the UK exceeds GDP

 

[krystal]

I guess it would depend on how big your scroll was?

 

[oh shit]

nor can you sell your degree for a tidy profit

Yeah but your debt is linked to a saleable asset. If she doesn't pay up I think they hold her down in a chair and spoon out some of her brains.
