These ads are getting sneaky.
On that page, there were adverts for all stuff I like, all Cycling and things.
They must know shit about my IP or somfing.

I am scared.

Here, how do you fecking save in a high yeild interest account if you have no money left over after you pay all your crap for the month?

This is anti-Irish

7) Don't Open A High Interest Savings Account High-interest savings accounts are for old people. You don't need to save yet. Or at all. You have that, you know, plan thing at work where they save money for you. And you can use your credit cards for any emergencies that might come up. So you'll be OK.

I've got 1-9 nailed!

Typical conversation round our gaff:
Me: You know how I never check my bank balance because I fear for the worst?
Him: You're an idiot.
Me: Anyway, I checked it today and I actually have way MORE money than I thought I'd have.
Him: An awful idiot.
Me: So in case it's down to some sort of mistake that the bank has made I reckon I better spend it all before they catch on!
Him: Naturally.

I budget very carefully. I have a spreadsheet and everything in which I allocate every single cent I earn to leave me with a balance as close to zero in my account at the end of the month.

Me too.
All I have to worry about is not getting fired.

wouldn't you rather have a balance of thousands at the end of the month?

I'd be happy if I had a balance of thousands at any point during the month... unfortunately almost as soon as my wages enter the account a very large portion of them exit straight back out again. Being a grown-up sucks.

But my budget keeps me nicely broke without being in debt and makes sure that the banks don't make any money off me, either in interest I have to pay them or by investing the funds they're holding on my behalf - HA, take that banks.

Well, they keep increasing my credit limit on my credit card - it's about 15k now. I think they're hoping to trick me into buying a round the world trip, or a car with it or something and then they'll have me trapped. They're sneaky that way, banks.

I'm trying to budget for the next 18 months. projected sales, expenses, etc,etc. It's like living in a living nightmare.

 

[theoootini]

i am usually broke by the second week of every month and have to borrow off my girlfriend constantly. it sucks. i think i need to try one of these bud-jet thingies.

Will someone help me with my trading, profit and loss account?

 

[egg_]

ah sure we're all the same

What does "staying broke" mean anyway? If you don't do any of this shit will you get rich? Not in my experience

 

[theweeyin]

Getting paid monthly sucks ass. It is much easier to budget week by week I find. Hence why all of my bills come out the day after I get paid and I'm skint about 24 hours after I get paid. Sucks to be a growd up.

Yes.
