Some months I have my basic to live on then I get a huge lump of commission and I have tended to just spend it! :o(
Makes me a tad sick about how much of it I have spent on pointless things!!
Plus because my earning are normally about 50% commission based – most mortgage companies won’t take that into account – they will only look at my basic earnings.

I'm 19, Just got a new job on £16,500 P/A Basic plus Commision.
Pretty pleased with that considering my age.
Depending on what you want in the future, (kids etc), a house is always the best bet. There are some lovely apartments out there, but they are useless if you one day want a family. Yes you can sell it in the future, but why bother with the hassle? Houses are fucking ace.SambaBoys said:Pigeonho said:Fuck it mate, you're only 25.

I haven’t decided yet! :o(
I keep debating on moving out and renting while saving but most sensible option is to stay at home where I have a couple of 100 outgoings and that’s it .....
It seems a bit silly to get an apartment at this point....

should start a new thread....does your other half know how much you earn?
DirtyHarry said:Very little atm being new to this area (around £12,000) and the Mrs has just been made redundant so selling the house for what we can get and buying a caravan with what`s left and becoming `Pikey`s` is looking increasingly likely unfortunately, hopefully she`ll get some joy with an interview she has lined up next week.

Only if you don't have a mortgage :O). Sadly I don't fall into that bracket.
Earn a good living in London but I'm probably worse off than you guys in Manchester on a lot lower salaries. A housewife who likes to buy things for the hell of it and 2 boys who want any toy that gets advertised on Nick Jnr.
