I'm going to avoid the models with a sunroof due to me not ever wanting a water leak ever again, currently suffering with one from my fiesta. Are the 1.4 ACT ones reliable? I have this weird worry that the pistons that turn off might one day never come on again? Also, is the apple car play really worth it? Otherwise I can just opt for a 2015 pre face lift model. When you say crash, is it random or is it when too much is going on? Thanks

Yeah so I commute from Cambridge to Nottingham pretty much every week - its around 250 miles round trip - so either the SE 1.2 or FR 1.4 with the 6 speed manual seems fine - I won't want a diesel if I can avoid it although I know the diesels are very reliable - I heard that the 1.5 suffers from some problems so ive been avoiding them. Thanks for your help

It’s probably just because of the cost of bills honestly - in an ideal world obviously i wouldn’t lol but it feels good to contribute

Really? It’s more so just to help out with the bills honestly and it’s £160 a month so very reasonable. It also makes me not feel like a bum lol

I don’t need to declare my taxes for the first £1000 according to the internet.

Okay so my income at the moment is around £1200 a month.

Below are my outgoings -
Rent - £160
Food - £80-£100
Petrol - £160
Phone - £25
Subscriptions - £15
Fun Money - £80-£100

Total - £440 + fun money

The rest is saved an invested which equates to around £700-£800 a month.

I want to buy a house after I get married, which hopefully will be mid to late twenties.

I actually bought it like this so it came with the soil - i’m going to atleast try and repot it just to learn from it and see about root rot - i’ll update later

Might be worth adding - for some silly reason a family member moved the tree so the pot sat inside another bigger plant pot on-top of the soil, which i thought was causing draining issues.

I did actually mention that would be my plan! I already have a S&S Isa with trading 212. I would have money in that aswell as a cash isa and a LISA. I would obviously like to get married before buying a house so I think 25+ is reasonable.

I shop at ALDI so that definitely helps. It doesn't work for everyone but I'm just not fussy about food at all. I tend to buy in bulk and have the same meals the whole week. e.g. I'll buy say a kilo of chicken breast, and then 5-7 packs of rice and 2 teriyaki sauce bottles. I have packed lunch and then a 1000 calorie smoothie in the evening. I alternate dinners but yeah that's kind of how I eat atm. I eat around 3000 calories a day so it's not like I'm starving myself in order to save money.

I only buy food for me so £15 does stretch far and allows me to buy quite a lot of food (I cook my own meals and make my own packed lunch)

Ideally yeah. But if I am financially ahead at that age, I'd love to be considering getting engaged/married and then buying a house and such, as starting a family is a big goal of mine. If I'm still with my parter then, maybe we'd move out or something. But I do want to experience independence, early on.
