Glad you're enjoying some of the reads (I do wonder which aspect you don't enjoy, but that's just who I am!), and if my broadband was any good lately I'd have a look at your Flickr. All my beer ticks are on Untappd (no surprises as to the username
) if you're interested!
As for how I afford it, as Blindtraveller says budgeting is key. I've been very strict on myself with budgets, have been for several months. Well, apart from yesterday when I splashed out on an implusive post-work trip to Shrewsbury
I went into epic detail with all the budgeting and so on in a thread a good few weeks, inviting anyone with queries to PM me. No-one ever did, so it is reasonable to assume no-one wanted advice on budgeting!
I don't want to spend ages going into budgeting stuff again, I'm really not in the mood to do so. Since it's come up, I don't earn a fortune, but I live at home (not through choice, not that it should matter to anyone here!) which helps a lot. Even so, on base pay I have a lot of outgoings and have to be VERY careful in an average month. It also takes a LOT of planning ahead - and some stuff takes extra budgeting and saving for - to the extent where my calendar is now full until February 2016. Yes, really, you read that right, I have planned - but yet to book a lot of it - all the way until early 2016. Yes, really, things HAVE to be organised that far ahead!
Anything else anyone wants to ask? Would anyone like a full breakdown of my outgoings, incomings or anything else?!
