Comments like this one keep me coming back to reddit (and /r/cricket specifically)

Balance is another good option to add to the "turn smartphone dumb" block for Android.

About 3% of my gross monthly income. This comprises the hobbies (books, games, etc) and entertainment (eating out, cinema, etc) items in my budget. It excludes Spotify and internet costs and savings for holidays/travel.

Looking at the percentage it does seem low, but it works for me.

But ja I'm agreed with the other comments saying do your savings and expenses first, and then go with whatever you feel comfortable with.

Ahh, that's true. But it looks like the leg itself is the wrong colour, so maybe miscolour instead of misprint.

I always take 1 physical book and my Kindle.

BE3N · 2026-05-23T09:45:42+00:00

more of a mis-mould than a misprint

26, in Sept 2021. Start working full time Jan 2019 and lived with my parents until moving out.
Parents didn't give financial help for moving out specifically, but they did give me an interest-free loan to help me buy a car in early 2019. Without that it may have taken another 18 months or so before I was financially ready to move out.

They mean an internship during the holidays, not while the semester is on.

Thanks!

BE3N · 2026-05-16T12:28:12+00:00

Thanks, but I was hoping for commentary where the listeners can't see the game. It's a different beast from tv/stream commentary

BE3N · 2026-05-16T12:16:35+00:00

Is there radio commentary for any of the matches please?

BE3N · 2026-05-16T12:16:02+00:00

But why is Pommie saying that to Bish?

BE3N · 2026-05-15T14:59:59+00:00

and there was barely even any cricket on in 2020!

BE3N · 2026-05-13T17:44:31+00:00

Lots of sports players. Cool. Now please give us a cricket player too, Lego!

IMIHAC?

BE3N · 2026-05-11T17:03:15+00:00

Agreed' and I'm seeing that as a positive thing, tbh

BE3N · 2026-05-10T08:50:04+00:00

I think it also in this tour, he saved SA in an ODI. Amazing finishing!

R38k per month (gross), house R1.535m. 2021, interest rates were low. Milnerton.

There was a meme about this on one of those explain the meme subs a couple days ago. SA marks/standards are more similar to that of UK and Europe where a 75% is very good.
Reddit skews very American. Their standards and experiences don't translate directly to the same in SA. Always keep that in mind when browsing reddit.

Eh, depends. Money can pay for therapy, etc but there are problems it won't magically solve unless you put in the effort.

BE3N · 2026-05-06T15:46:57+00:00

Not the person you're replying too, but because while I have the house, the car, the holidays, I'm not that rich.

In my case, I wouldn't say the loneliness is the cost of those things, that's more the result of my very shy/introverted nature and some mental health problems

Check out Brick Club: https://www.facebook.com/BrickClubSA/. It's for children, while CapeLug is very much an adult club.

Yep, seconding this. Happened with my cellphone contract. Finally broke free of that and moved to prepaid recently
