[mexman123]

Anybody else out there who is totally broke or is it just me??

Got paid on Friday just gone, just phoned my telephone banking and i am £2100 overdrawn with a maximum available limit of only £2000

What the fook am i supposed to do until pay-day again.....4 weeks away

Paid all my bills, done a weekly shop had a few beers on Saturday night and its all fookin gone, i tell you, all fookin gone!!

[Grizzley Dell]

[Mr Sam]

[retrorigg]

everyone in same boat mate, im 37 and never been so skint, i seemed to be better off when i was on a yts on £28.50 a week, i should be comftable and have a nice little nest egg by now but not a fookin chance

[chrisl]

snap mate, moved in with my girlfreind this year, typical we had a resession this year, pay drop no bonuses and am maxed overdrawn and generally skint for the forseable future lol

[sampedlar06]

ive been skint since end of december! then i get my 1st propper bit of work yesterday slipped on a ladder and dislocated my shoulder so thats another 2 weeks out of work!!!! grrr

[stuartp]

i know the feeling well

 

i love how they charge you loads when you go over the overdraft limit - yeah cheers, that'll help me claw my way back into the black

 

i'm doing worse than i was when i was at uni working one day a week!

[faceman]

just don't sell your car's.

[ox]

i worked it out the other day in twelve years my wages have gone up £1.20 a hour i bet inflation gone up moore than that

[stevepeanut]

totally skint here too, I was paying rent to my g/f for the last dew years, but we remortgaged the house together and bought out her exs share (which he waited years to ask for)

 

Got to the point where some weeks I pay all my bills and have £10 left.

 

Every Friday I put £10 in my savings account, and I had £90 saved up to tax my cortina at the end of March. But then this monday I didnt have enough to cover my loan which went out the bank, so had to transfer the £90 back into my current account and pay my loan, which is now my roadtax money gone

 

Worst bit for me has been the snow, which meant a lot of time stuck in the van and earning minimum wage. Fingers crossed it stays away and I can earn some good money again

[mexman123]

Lifes a bitch aint it?

Desperately trying to talk myself out of selling the Mexico.....

The worst part is in nearly 7 years of ownership, it aint legally been on the road yet, and at this point it is 95% complete and if money allowed would be on the road for the first time this spring...

Currently got the house up for sale also, as we are planning to move anyway, and buy somewhere a little cheaper to run/maintain.

Cant see a bloody end to it.....

Unfortunately, i am in the car sales game, and at the moment it is totally shite....

[old skool estate]

I no all about no money! drives you mad, cant sleep,feel like sh-t,

worrying about keeping a roof over your head!

 

The only thing that keeps me going is my wife,family and my toys,

 

No matter how skint i get, no one is taking my escort away! The way i look at it if i sold my car the money will go on bills and i will have nothing to show for the last 10-15 years of building old skool fords,

 

Money is tight every were,

Its bad guys ,im also in the car game and run a bodyshop ,the owners never seen such dark times ,we are 10k down last month and i cant help thinking how long can we survive at that rate .

In our game people have taken huge excesses on their policies and cant afford them when the need to .

I used to run my own car sales in Surrey until 2007 when the punters stopped coming ,sold up and i still lost 5k at the time which for young business was shocking .

Its taken me years to get where i am and yes i have a nice van and reasonable house but theres some major work needed at the house and its never going to get done.

My family talked me out of selling my Mk1 cortina which i have owned since 86 but that needs thousands spent as well.

I just thank god im lucky to be working as i know many of you arent and thats very hard .

Even the Dj stuff i do is dead and other Djs undercutting me and others by hundreds to do stuff .Pubs are dead and i gather nightclubs not doing great either .

Hope the upturn comes soon

I worked one whole week last month then fractured my elbow. I got the huge sum of £542 wages to last me another 4 weeks til payday....the blimming finance on the Ka is £199.99 a month, which is always covered by my mileage allowance. I've had to go back to work after 2.5 weeks just because I can't afford not too. The elbow is still killing me but painkillers are cheap

[YOUNGY]

Sounds like everyone is in the same boat, i blame the government

[retrorigg]

it is kinda reasuring its not just me then, chins up tho guys money aint everything, dont sell ur cars like i have in the past, you,ll regret it big time

[stuartp]

Even the Dj stuff i do is dead and other Djs undercutting me and others by hundreds to do stuff .Pubs are dead and i gather nightclubs not doing great either .

Hope the upturn comes soon

 

yeah i dj in bars and clubs too and the work has all but gone over the last year, i used to be doing a couple of nights a week, these days i'm not even getting one every month

and the little bits i am doing are paying peanuts

[GJUK]

Seriously giving thought to flying out of the UK. Each household has =~£25k attatched to it, if you split the debt we've racked up as a country.

 

Who do you think's going to pay for this.

 

The unemployed?

 

Those on benefits?

 

No, the working middle class man an doris of the 21st century.

 

Mark my words, things will be very expensive in a few years time as prices and taxes and changes make there way in to our lives.
