It's possible to have savings and some nice bikes if you make some sacrifices (mc101 excluded ;) )

well, both my wife and i work in the finance industry, she has had to take a cut in the number of days she works (down to 3 a week) and i am working on a contract which for the next few months is stable but they just fired a pile of my collegues to cut costs, we are not fat cat traders but are the first to get hit when they fuck up

fuck me some of you have just had a pop at us carpenters and builders for our prices but fuck me look at fido he has just said he has lost about 30k in value on his savings,fuck how much must he have to lose that sort of money,i dont have anything like that saved so what sort of money is he earning lol,i dont save simple as that,i've tried but just cant do it,thats why i have some nice toys,but if i died tommorow at least i enjoyed myself while i could,and i dont want to be the richest man in the grave yard  :occasion14:

Just been 'sensible' (well I considered it sensible up to now) with my money.

 Most of the savings / investments  are made up in shares through sharesave  schemes .   The sharesave schemes that I did were very good although  worth much less now but will go back up again.

 Some was invested when I got made redundant last year.  The advisor that told me what to do with that was from my bank......and does a lot of road cycling.....If I ever see him out on his pushbike I am goimg to attach a rope to his bike and redline the 10 in top    REVENGE IS SWEET  [rofl]
