It doesn't have to be like that. Look at Iago showing the way. You have age and planning on your side which most people your age squander.Originally posted by NewApproach View Post
As an aside, Accountants are typically the most disorganised clients from a retirement perspective.
I'd often find a well organised CFO working in some business around the country, but go and speak to a partner in a top 4 firm and their personal finances are often an uncoordinated mess.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis KhanComment

I've managed to balance this pretty well in the past 12 months, getting my finances into dramatically better shape while still spending ~6k on vacations, 2k on eating out (surprised how low this is) and 3k on socialising (i.e. booze).Originally posted by Denny Crane View Post
For me the secret was tracking my spending using an app called YNAB, would strongly commend it to anyone who can't seem to get from one pay day to the next without going into the overdraft. It has been a complete gamechanger for me.
EDIT: actually those spending figures are just since January so probably talking €7k, €2.5k and €4k by the end of the year...Comment

Did a 10K night run event last week with work which was great craic. I've been struggling with running all this year but was back on course to do my first sub 60 10K since I picked up a groin injury over Christmas.
I'm comfortable enough banking seconds for the second half with a 5:30 and 5:35 for the first two when a lad comes up alongside me and asks me what time I'm aiming for and says he's been using me as a pacer so far, I tell him what I'm hoping for and he's full of beans saying thats the mark hes after so lets help each other make it etc. nice lad full of chat and really into what he's doing I was enjoying going along with him and we passed a lad from work who's usually a long way ahead of me but was coming back off injury. We kept pace until about 8.5K when my stomach gave out and I lost a bit on him as I had to stop and retch for a few seconds. Anyway I got going again and could see him ahead and I kept on at the same pace and was delighted to finish in 58 minutes a minute and a half behind my new friend...

The new one is web based but the consensus is that they released it way before it was ready and it's had a lot of teething problems.
By the way, the app on the phone is just to allow on the go tracking of expenses, the laptop is where the work actually has to be done with it.Comment

The lesson I take from this is that wishing your kids would grow up and leave home at the first opportunity does not make you a Bad Person.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostIt is indeed. And who knows, maybe thats my dad projecting a bit too much of how he feels on the situation and the uncle will be delighted in himself, but I don't think so. It seems people who invest all their worldly meaning in raising their kids really suffer when they leave the home. Hence my parents having a delightful old age
A lesson for us all really.

What else are you going to? Everything is Brilliant looks good for levity.Originally posted by Raoul Duke III View PostDTF has commenced and went to The Father at the w/e. It's an uncomfortable experience - disjointed, fragmentary and confusing (deliberately so as it deals with dementia). Obviously hit home very deeply with some audience members but I would struggle to recommend it. Owen Roe good in the lead role but the rest of the cast maybe not at the same level.
Hoping for more levity from my other picks.Comment

Still vaping away here. Did cut down from 18mg to 12mg ages ago, with the vague intention of reducing it further, but just haven't felt any real reason to do so. After about 23 years of smoking, and the last good few of 40 a day I'm sure it's a lot less harmful. Was March 4th 2014 when I stopped smoking.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To...

Practically chain vape, cut to 12mg. Haven't smoked a cigarette since 1st sept 2013. Vaped the previous 12 month to giving up the cigs going from 50/60 a day too 5 a day. It's a funny one, I don't think I'd ever go back smoking cigs now, but have no intention of quitting vaping. Most noticeable difference is respiratory, in medical last year lung capacity was deemed normal. Also, my home doesn't smell like an ashtray these days.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To...

Was actually going to ask a similar question on this today... have noticed from the sample size of my work, the offices close by and people I know, of those I have seen vaping over the last couple of years the number who are not back smoking is zero. A few are still vaping part time and I still have not come across a single person who says they have quit nicotine through vaping.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View Post
Edit Good stuff
Seems like BBV is doing much better than the real world. Looking at the number of shops on the go there must be loads of people vaping, it mustn't be as visible as smokingLast edited by Strewelpeter; 03-10-16, 22:02.Turning millions into thousandsComment
