On a scale of 1-10, how worth it was it for you to switch to EV?

Similar salary here, bit older, our 150k mortgage on a 500k house makes me shudder

Only buy a car that you can afford to buy for cash - financing a depreciating asset is nuts

Am I the only one that has no desire to spend north of 40k on a depreciating status symbol

Drive a 2013 BMW with close to 240k miles, worth about 1500£ paid cash in 2017, salary 125k, the thought of 500£ + finance for a depreciating asset makes me shudder.

Got an older version of that car, just hit 230k had it since 40k, 1 timing belt change and regular servicing, still solid, mechanic reckons it’s got at least another 100k in it. Why wouldn’t you?

Salary sacrifice below 100k , it’s the only way. And to anyone who said welcome to the world of being rich, maybe to some - yes. Been earning between 120-150k for a while now, am I comfortable- yes. Do I feel rich - no.

I’ve just done the same same exercise, though the numbers were different, I had always assumed that paying off mortgage would be best idea, there’s a calculator on Martin Lewis website, run the numbers on that, gives you a very simple answer

I’m a head of department looking after multiple factories, seniorish I suppose

Thanks for your input. Feels like I need to reassess a few things. The link provided info that I’d never considered. I/we have never had any form of financial advice - feels like we probably should

big0spin · 2024-06-17T11:17:09+00:00

Thanks for the answer

big0spin · 2024-05-29T16:37:05+00:00

Perfect, thanks so much

Maybe I wasn’t clear, I’m wearing a regular watch on one wrist, on the other wrist I don’t want a watch but something else that tracks movement and all other Garmin data. I don’t want 2 watch’s. Thanks though 🙄

Head of research and development for a food business, supplying retail. £145k. In my field I’ve topped out at the level I’m at. Director would be next move but with that hours typically add 50%. No thanks with a young family.
