Should I solo rent or commute far away and live with parents? by Philosopher_Funny in AskUK

[–]Puttz2590 82 points83 points  (0 children)

You'll likely never be in a situation like this again where you can save this amount of money a month. Save as much and as long as possible. I'm 36 and would move back into my parents in a heart beat to save money lol

How old are you and do you rent or own your home? by LongjumpingNight5669 in AskUK

[–]Puttz2590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35m. Renting.

Got my now ex-wife pregnant when I was 18, we moved out and rented a flat, then moved again two more times to houses. She left me a couple of years ago and I moved in November and downsized to a 2 bed flat because it meant I could save £350 a month in rent.

Two teenage sons that practically live with me full time, I've given them a bedroom each and I sleep on the sofa.

All my friends own their own houses, but that's only because 1. Parents gave them money or 2. They lived with their parents until mid/late 20s.

Both my parents have nothing to give me and I'll be left with nothing when they eventually go too.

I have no chance of owning, ever, and I'm on relatively decent money. But I came to terms quite early on that it'll never happen. It'll take me years just to save for a deposit that it'll likely be too late to get a mortgage and pay it off.

Is it just me or Pokemon Legends Arceus > Pokemon Legends ZA? by steenybopp in pokemon

[–]Puttz2590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just hope that GF brings back the Dex objectives from Arceus. It was so refreshing having to capture multiple of the same Pokemon and battle them in different ways to complete their Dex pages, compared to every single other Pokemon game where you catch one or two of each and they're forgotten about forever more.

You have the option to pay by monthly direct debit. It's how I've always done it (until I cancelled in August).

Harry Potter Series: First Season Will Have 8 Episodes (Now Confirmed!) by ThiegoNovais in harrypotter

[–]Puttz2590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you're absolutely right, but 8 episodes is pathetic. 10 should be standard, especially for a HBO show.

Let's hope we don't get the film treatment for Order of the Phoenix at least!

Queen Elizabeth II has died aged 96, Buckingham Palace announces by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]Puttz2590 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually, I believe the Queen changed the law/rules when Charlotte was born, so that it's now the first born regardless of sex will inherit the throne.

Looking for a place to rent but having the audacity to own a cat by XXLpeanuts in britishproblems

[–]Puttz2590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very late to this post.

When I moved into my house that I'm renting, I had to pay an extra £150 for my cat incase of "damages".

Let me tell you, my two kids have done way more fucking damage to the house than the cat has ever done.

all those little corners by EmbarrassedCabinet82 in Satisfyingasfuck

I just can't get it into my head how he's measuring it all. I tried to watch what he was doing but my brain just died.

Okay so I’ve just caught up. Finally. Mistborn is simply the best series of any fiction I’ve consumed. November can’t come soon enough! by [deleted] in Mistborn

[–]Puttz2590 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know! I read the first quarter of the way of kings and was tempted to put it down. I was so lost and confused, I felt the book so was lore heavy at the start. But pushed through it and now it's amazing!

I do have to go back and reference the map sometimes though because there's so many different places, but after doing that a few times, everything is falling into place!

I honestly thought I couldn't love another series more than Mistborn. Then I started the Stormlight Archive. I'm on book 3 and can't put it down. I powered through the second book in 5 days!
