Oh I can afford it.
It's the 2 grand a month child care costs that are gonna give me the sore bottom.

[QUOTE=Pat Vegas;4113853]Earning "big numbers" lets you live modestly in London, rather than extravagantly out of London. That's the trade off - you get to stay in London.Quote:

Downside, they live in your house and eat all your ****ing food.
I tell you Jorge. I am a changed man. I am very sensible now. If I started earning over the magical 6 figures mark I would not change my lifestyle for at least 2 years. and pocket the extra money away then would try to purchase a house with a very sizable deposit and not having a mortgage hanging over me for a very long time. This way I would get the rewards later. Now if your high paying job demands you to be in a situation to have to pay this huge child care cost it's a shame. but you have to give and take.Quote:

I think of those places as more 'in and around' than 'in', if you see what I mean.Quote:
