Thanks for explaining that 1 in 25 thing.

Marriage?
Seems the first few years were the most difficult.
Then the kids start popping out and you're overwhelmed with that crap.
Then the kids finally grow-up so you can catch your breath a little.
Then the reality of retirement...
just as your grown kids start to truly believe that you will support them for their entire life.

mmm yes... its more and more common too!! ... I dont mind helping ... so long as they contribute funds also.... but as soon as they finish University and start working regular... nope! ... well if they get stuck with car rego or fixes i'll front it... but they will pay it back ..

... if i let the car not work... and then they not work... they might want to move back in!!

Understood.
It will indeed be odd if/when my two do leave the nest.
Not quite there yet, but getting mighty close.
Just saying.

i just hope .. when the eldest does move.... that her flatmates like Pasta ... mainly ravioli ... she can cook ravioli! ... lots of ravioli!! ... lol ..

not that bad... she can do several other meals... but .. ravioli is king!!

slightly late lunch ... Ham, egg, pineapple an sweet chilli sauce toasted wrap ... then this happened

Im 43 and have absolutely no debts and own everything I have outright and will never go into debt to buy anything..
If you dont have the money then dont buy it.

I am not one of those people that has to have the expensive bike so that I can pretend that I am better than anyone else.  Most of those guys will be in debt till they die and then their kids will get nothing but bills.

Wish I had of learned the debt thing early on eh... Not so much a status thing ... Just let it get out of control early on and been fighting uphill last 10 years ... Once you hit a certain point it's hard to catch up .... Or admit you need to..

It took 15 years for my wife and I to get out of debt. We had so much debt it was eating us up so we decided that if we could not pay cash then we went without. Now of course I buy my cars and bikes with cash and have never used a credit card or loan since . My kids all have whatever they want and I get my toys. I dont give a shaZam! that I dont ride a BMW/Street Triple/Ducati or the latest fad because I havent borrowed up to my eyeballs to buy them. My new to me V-Strom is da bomb and cash paid and fully owned
