I expect mortgages and the cost of them per month will vary massively on here, some wont have them and other will have...(argh gay US keyboard no pound button)...1200GBP ones. Others rent....

 

Some live in the North some in the South, it's all relative.

Hoorah, a cock measuring party, it's been a while since the last one...

 

I did not mean to. But it sure seems most ppl here are high income earners - that would explain the affordability.

 

Could explain how you came to £3200 net and could you define a decent life?

 

Last time members were measured I think it turned out there were quite a few on minimum wage.

 

Don't know if this is a good idea but what the heck.

That is £3.200 - small shite add up!

I seriously do not see it possible to own a supra on minimum wage unless you live with your parents.

I've highlighed all the things you can do without in bold and put the things you could save on in italics, HTH.

So I've saved you at least ~£1000 a month, job done.

I'm a single mum with a £20k a year job; I manage.

The supra costs the same a year to run as my 'sensible' old car. Ok, so it guzzles petrol, but the servicing is cheaper so it's swings and roundabouts.

If I sold the Sup and got something cheaper to run/insure, I'd have to pay more than the Sup is worth, so what's the point.

I did my research before I bought it, and I expect most other owners have too.
