I've been looking at Leeds and without having to go to the shit areas I could break even on a 2 bed semi with garden and off road parking. That's where my mind is at currently it's just making it work financially and hopefully remaining freelance.

@Armitage_Shankburn are you living in Dublin now Gonz?
I'd say dublin has a similar rental problem to what Liv would face in London. Maybe not to the same extent but it's still extortionate.

He could live out in greystones. I'm just thinking there is a lot of tech and finance work which presumably spills over to contractors.
No I'm in London but the girlie lives and works in Dublin, so I've come to know it. I think brexit will keep inflating the bubble in Dublin.

This. If you earned 80k. Things would still be tight because Cullen would have a pony or something.cockbeard wrote:Also I know with me that whilst I often feel that money is tight, I find it rarely matters what I'm paid, the money's always tight more because of me not my earnings. Also if you've managed to sort out all the "extras" you were paying your boy's ma, then maybe the 5k difference wouldn't be that noticeable without that added fluctuating expense
