  • How does the math work out on that? I’m not quite sure what home prices are like in the UK, but let’s say you bought a house for 350k and paid cash. That leaves 400k. You retire at 30, and conservatively have 40 more years to live. That’s only 10k/year for the rest of your life. You still have expenses such as home insurance, car insurance, consumables, etc. Doesn’t seem like much. To be fair I’m also not factoring in any kind of pension or social security or anything like that.




  • I took my current gf and my parents to a nice restaurant last night. She mentioned she’d only been there once before, on a date, and that the only reason they went to that restaurant (very $$$) is because he had a gift card and was going to cover the meal. Orders all kinds of expensive stuff. The bill comes and then supposedly he realizes his gift card, if it actually existed in the first place, was for a different restaurant. She ended up having to pay on her CC because he had no other forms of payment. Obviously didn’t work out for him in the end.
