Guess getting mortgage free is the big one, fancy mobiles like do u need one? Gym subs etc, clothes, cars, eating and drinking out, holidays are all luxuries that change per person, some do none some seem to blow it all every month whatever they earn.
A guy I know, good job, £70k, buys big house in Cyncoed, cars, 2 grand mountain bikes, kids, can't even pay his own tax bill, goes back to daddy fir it....I find this bizarre the need to blow it all....
What he is saying is that you can buy a house in some parts of Wales for 35000. That's giving a mortgage of 140 per month.

Council tax in the lowest band is not going to be 200 quid.

Gas and electric £200? Who pays that? You need to switch if you do!

Sorry CCFCPhil, I think you may be right!
