Isn't that the guy who saved more than he earned per month while paying a laughably low rent to his parents and also received a free car out of the blue?
I did not investigate, but I'd presume you are right on the money so to speak
@kaia
It says in the article he saved 1200Β£/month on a 14kΒ£/year salary, which is possible if you round down, but not so if you consider that he also pays 2kΒ£/yr for a car, 120Β£/month in rent, and that food isn't even counted. The numbers just don't add up, as he should be paying closer to 17kΒ£/year, maybe even 18
I wouldn't really treat this article in terms of honest economic advice. It seems more like a redemption for everyone who thinks UK real estate market is healthy and competitive, and young to middle aged people are renting because they prefer so.
Eastern European perspective: people in the UK spend enormous amounts of money on dining out and other non-essential stuff but cutting on that wouldn't allow you to save for a house deposit.
>but cutting on that wouldn't allow you to save for a house deposit.
Probably would tbqh.
My estimate was based on my drinking profile π I have a brewery 15 mins walk from home though π
Agreed. My expenses are usually limited to 3 beers or so. It seems expensive to be a young adult in the UK π€·ββοΈ On the other hand, ROI on the "club girls" doesn't seem to be very good if reproductive success requires repeated attempts, at high cost, every weekend.
Club cover fee + hugely inflated drink prices + hugely inflated drink prices for the first girl you hit on + hugely inflated drink prices for the second girl you hit on (etc) + uber/cab + shitty takeout food.
That's a lot of money to spend every weekend.
