A couple of articles have popped up this week where families on £60,000 income  are struggling to live due to high mortgage payments and the cost of living.

Shocking really. Wonder if they have a window cleaner!

The size of some peoples mortgages these days is quite scary! Think our generation were one of the last to end up with nice, good sized houses with relatively small mortgages. Plus we've enjoyed record low interest rates for many years.
Housing prices these days are just silly!

I bet they all have new iPhones, full Sky TV package and eat 2 or 3 takeaways a week.

Some people just have no clue how to run their finances, they could earn £200k a year and still be skint.

Before getting married I ran a car and a motorbike. Sold the car to put towards deposit. When we married, sold the motorbike and got a car again.

Did an extra job on Saturdays in a hardware shop to save money.

No TV for a year until my parents gave us their old one and we could afford the license fee.

Honeymoon in the Brecon Beacons borrowing dad's car.

Packed lunches and a thermos flask (still do)

Jumpers for goalposts, lived in a dustbin.

Point being - easy to waste money on distractions -

Sacrifices.

When my son in law turns up to fill his van with bought coffee and a cake in his hand I think 'that's a fiver you've wasted' 

[zesty]

People spend to their earning power - most never think life might take a nasty turn south....

Yep.

That’s why I run my paid off custom, and we drive a boring Peugeot 3008 suv .

No car finance. We’re being sensible by putting the money into the house at the moment. Once we have finished the house. I might then upgrade the van and car.

You can’t have it all at the same time!

There are so many people with flash cars on tick but no money at the end of the month it’s crazy.


Mate of ours had to liquidate his company because he couldn’t manage his finances. Had a flash car, but ended up broke.

Spot on! My philosophy has always been 'if I can't afford it I can't have it.' My dad taught me the value of money. We used to mow lawns on a Saturday after he'd done a full week in a factory. And on a Sunday I would go out car washing. The car washing paid for my petrol for my moped. For the week. He did well for himself, better than a factory worker should have done. He watched his pennies and because of that he could afford a brand new detached house in a nice area and run two cars. My Mrs isn't quite the same as me. I have to rein her in a bit. She wanted to take the dog to the groomers for a wash and blow costing £30. I said sod that I'll do it for free. Anything I buy I value it against how many houses I have to clean. It gets you thinking if you think this way.

Don't live beyond your means and you'll be ok 👍

If you get fed up with window cleaning Bungle maybe you could go into dog grooming.

60k isn't that much if it's joint income (once tax and insurance is taken out).throw in a £2k a month mortgage and a couple of kids and you'll just get by.

When I move in with the missus we ll have a combined income of £80k+ a year.no mortgage,kids flown the nest so we should have plenty of money for more holidays,taking it a bit easier and enjoying life!👍🙂

Ive just aquired a 2007 nissan note with 120k on it for free

Had an SQ5 from 2015-2018, decent car but the Porsche is on a different level. I agree servicing is very expensive nowadays for the premier marques, a bit of a rip off to be honest. I have 2 dealerships within 30 miles and  4 within 100 miles🤤

Aye the V8’s are something else! They are becoming a dying breed. I had a Mercedes C63 Coupe 4.0 V8, the sound and performance was brilliant, best car I’ve owned to date. Anyways, I think we are at risk of being told to open a new thread in the  non cleaning related section, so better sign off😉

Interest rates were low for over 10 years. I just left my mortgage payment the same when they came down, and as a result paid the mortgage off a few years ago.

Did an extra job on Saturdays in a hardware shop to save money.

No TV for a year until my parents gave us their old one and we could afford the license fee.

Honeymoon in the Brecon Beacons borrowing dad's car.

Packed lunches and a thermos flask (still do)

Jumpers for goalposts, lived in a dustbin.

Point being - easy to waste money on distractions -

Sacrifices.

When my son in law turns up to fill his van with bought coffee and a cake in his hand I think 'that's a fiver you've wasted' 

Spot on! My philosophy has always been 'if I can't afford it I can't have it.' My dad taught me the value of money. We used to mow lawns on a Saturday after he'd done a full week in a factory. And on a Sunday I would go out car washing. The car washing paid for my petrol for my moped. For the week. He did well for himself, better than a factory worker should have done. He watched his pennies and because of that he could afford a brand new detached house in a nice area and run two cars. My Mrs isn't quite the same as me. I have to rein her in a bit. She wanted to take the dog to the groomers for a wash and blow costing £30. I said sod that I'll do it for free. Anything I buy I value it against how many houses I have to clean. It gets you thinking if you think this way.

Don't live beyond your means and you'll be ok 👍

Sorry late to the thread….

I agree with this 100%. Too many people have a champagne lifestyle with a lemonade income! On the flip side if you can afford to live life and enjoy holidays etc then why not. I guess it’s a balancing act and circumstance depending. Also the amount of people I’ve met who are wealthy and never travel anywhere other than their local seaside resort baffles me! Each to their own bit travelling the world is a must! You have but  one life!!

I wish I'd traveled when I was younger. My son is currently in Bali for two weeks then Vietnam for two weeks and then Thailand for two weeks. One of his mates who he's travelling with is going to Australia for a year straight after.

I travelled and worked for fours years when I left college. Best time of my life. Although the best is yet to come.

Funny how we are all different. I have no desire whatsoever to travel the world, or even leave this country at all and I can afford to.
However, I live a very chilled, peaceful life. I live in a dream location in a nice 4/5 bedroom detached home with 3 balconies overlooking stunning scenery. I can literally walk out of my door and fish for Salmon. I never lock my van day or night and seldom the car either- there is zero crime in the immediate area. This is the place and position that I always dreamed of and I have achieved it without being laden with debt and retaining plenty of disposable income. I'm completely happy, content and at total peace in my surroundings and I am very grateful and feel very fortunate to be in this position. It wouldn't matter one iota to me whether I never left these shores again for the rest of my life, that desire just doesn't reside in me at all, I'm already fulfilled.
I have worked since I was 12 years old mind, I'm now 51 and have never been awarded any financial assistance nor ever claimed any state benefit. Good timing and fortune in the housing market has helped on the way- I couldn't afford to buy my own house now!!

I don’t even posses a passport these days. I’ve travelled in the past and discovered many countries particularly around the Med are almost identical. The tourist hot spots embarrass me to be honest and I hate crowds.
I like flash cars but have no desire to own one. I live in the country and prefer spotting wildlife to humans.
I’m probably tight too 🙂 spending thousands to eat beans in a bath just doesn’t appeal 🤣
The ratio of property prices to annual earnings is ridiculous . Before the thread descended into a bragging competition I can understand why £60,000 is not much to get by on any more. My Son and partner combined probably earn a similar figure but have no disposable income left out of that. My daughter has little hope of even getting on the property ladder with prices in excess of £200,000 for a starter home.

Absolutely fine, not that much different from South Yorkshire. I would probably say though any 'severe' weather is a bit more 'severe' but generally not much different. The weather generally gets worse the further North and further West you go in Scotland- the weather is predominantly from the west.
It's still too hot to work in summer here just like other parts of the UK, I still have to plaster myself in sunblock every summer!!😁

I like to enjoy the fruits of my labour. House improvements, expensive cars, holidays. The wife has just had to reign me in as I was about to buy a new car, I still might if I can talk her round😆. As the saying goes, there are no pockets in a shroud!

What are you looking at getting ? Not a T ROCK I hope 😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣…A Porsche Macan GTS,  part of the VW group right enough😁

The Audi SQ5 is very similar, the Porsche is nice but a brake service is very expensive 😰😰😰😰as is all service costs with them , the nearest dealer to me is 110 miles away .

Had an SQ5 from 2015-2018, decent car but the Porsche is on a different level. I agree servicing is very expensive nowadays for the premier marques, a bit of a rip off to be honest. I have 2 dealerships within 30 miles and  4 within 100 miles🤤

Ver ver nice! How much does it cost you to tax and insure it?

[cgh window cleaning]

I would guess Tax will probably be around £580-£600 as you pay £390 additional road tax on a car over £40k

I would guess insurance is subject to the individual age where they live etc,etc.

Fair play @splash & dash looks like window cleanings been very good to you the car is lovely but the house looks really nice..I would guess that’s a million plus property down there.

You do realise Splash ,whoever that car belongs to I can quite easily see the postcode and street for that car. Should I wish to ‘borrow’ it, It wouldn’t take long to find.
If it’s yours then who cares. If it’s a customers then they might not be impressed.

You wouldn’t expect to be driving a Porsche for the same kind of money as driving a VW though, just like you wouldn’t expect to drive a Dacia for the same money as a VW, it’s all relative.

It’s also handy when you get paid 50k a year to be a full time fireman but do window cleaning instead and still get paid from both 🤑

Ime a retained watch manager not whole time . And certainly don’t get 50 k per year from the fire service wish I did .

A firefighter is on 36km once trained , been on a pay freeze for ten years but got a pay rise last year , if we had kept up with inflation it should be about 44k now .

How do you know that's not his car & house? and he took the photo's whilst his windows were being cleaned.

I don't - hence the question !!

Some on here seem pretty certain about things ... there are several things that put doubt in my mind but you'd need to be a real saddo to post someone else's car IMO

Did you send bungle the photo of the interior ? - depending on available daylight and hopefully the porche comes within th some sort of lighting

No I haven’t yet just biding my time to draw people out to show their true colours 😉but they will come

Just leave off with all the 🐂💩 fella. If anything it shows how insecure you are. Remember Part Timer calling you out on the other forum? We ain't all daft so stop trying to kid us!

What was he called out on?

There are other Hell Holes  window cleaning forums as well as C I U 

Outside is where their weeping and gnashing of teeth will be.
