Short-term this leaves us very little room for luxuries / lifestyle. We are feeling very constrained.
If you mean after reading material here and on www.itsyourmoney.ie etc. then you should probably consider getting professional advice.despite my efforts I still don't understand how it works or where to start with investments
Mell61 - that is very interesting about the tracker mortgage. I will investigate this.
Still the cushion of savings is what got us through and continues to get us through.
Glad we didn't buy the new car!
Wow - I am gobsmacked!
I just logged in today to ask a question on a completely different topic and found that this was my last post.
If I only had a crystal ball back in 2008. Just to update and as a cautionary tale - 6 months after I posted this I lost my job. I was out of work for nearly 2 years.
Working again but our income is 1/3 of what it was 4 years ago. Still the cushion of savings is what got us through and continues to get us through.
Glad we didn't buy the new car!
As the Swiss always say: "You can never have too much savings" and "Why buy it new if you can get it at the second hand shop"!!!!!
