Money, everyday life & the ridiculous price of things. Then vs now. Investing. Housing. The odd rant.

My friend is 25. He takes home £2,250 a month and wants to move out. He needs 2 bedrooms so his child can stay.
This is the cheapest I can find in the area he needs. £995 a month.
Then bills, food, car…
How are younger people supposed to live?

£6.50.
15 minutes.
Chicken, rice and vegetables.
The funny thing about eating well on a budget is that the food often isn’t the expensive bit.
It’s the takeaway because you couldn’t be bothered.
Chicken, rice and mixed vegetables.
People say eating well is expensive?
£6.50 for the whole meal.
15 minutes to make.
People saying they can’t eat well on a budget? Why?

£40,000 deposited.
£50,962 now.
A good week.
£1,781 up in the last 7 days.
No trading.
No trying to time the market.
Just keep adding and let time do its thing.

Friday used to mean spending whatever was left in my bank account.
Now Friday means checking my bank account, moving some money into investments and then convincing myself a £6 pint is “basically free” because it’s the weekend.
Funny how priorities change.

On the bright side for them that don't manage to get Oasis codes for tickets you could always sell a kidney and buy on here 🙄

Oasis on sale times if you were lucky enough to have received a code yesterday.
The fun is about to begin.
Good luck.

£1,000 used to feel like a fortune.
Now it’s:
£200 — car repair
£300 — something for the house
£250 — food shopping
£250 — “where the hell did that go?”
£1,000 gone.
Modern adulthood is basically earning money just to watch it disappear.

Waking up this morning knowing you’ve secured an Oasis code and then realising you’ll be number 100,000 in the queue.

£20 used to feel like a lot of money.
Now it barely covers a takeaway.
Somewhere along the way, £20 stopped being money and became a rounding error.

I could afford the £30 version.
I’m still buying the £18 one because it’s basically the same thing.
Having more money doesn’t seem to cure the urge to get a bargain.
If anything, it makes you more determined not to get ripped off.
