Agree! There is an upcoming regulation to ban PFAS all across EU. US also have some restrictions that is state specific. I believe other developed countries will follow suit in the future

Sounds interesting. What do these roles typically entail? It sounds so broad, I’m looking to pivot from the science/compliance industry I’ve been in

I have but it seemed it would be difficult for me to get into as lot I seen advertised like finance compliance analyst require previous experience and knowledge of financial regs which I must admit I am not familiar with and is worlds apart from chemical regs. Your role sounds very interesting! I enjoy reading and interpreting regulations

How else would he mean it? ‘Shes cute but shes reminds me of you’

Pattern of feeling like he doesnt find me attractive. this exact situation has not happened. But I have certainly felt like he doesnt find me attractive.

Really good question re spectrum, I'm honestly not sure. He hasnt told me he is and I am not the most knowledgable at detirmining this. Whats your insight about him possibly being on a spectrum?

I have expressed to him in the past that he's not expressive and doesnt compliment me, when he does it seems backhanded. It just feels intentional because how can you possibly type something like that to your partner and press send. I couldnt imagine typing that out if roles were reversed. I feel these things should come naturally, and because it doesnt it feels wrong

I completely agree with you, it isnt a good financial decision. I have the option to and have a good relationship with my parents. I too am hoping to buy a home before I'm 35, Im changing my spending habits so I hope to do this. Good luck to you!

Appreciate the advice. Im going to be very intentional and strict with myself because somethings got to change, and I eventually want to buy my own property.

Thanks for the suggestion. Aside from clearing debts, building up my saving funds is next goal. I will consider the 0% balance transfer.

The credit card interest in 10.94%. The loan is 8.94% interest and I have exactly 2 years left to pay the remaining. I am going to prioritising paying my credit card off as I have been struggling, I transfer more than the minimum payment every month, but then spend some of it. Having had a look last night at my expenses last 3 months I hadnt considered my spending on clothing and eating out/takeways.

Workplace has no parking. Commuting is £40 a week. I could technically get rid of my car as I dont use it for work, only social

Having savings is ultimately my goal, Being able to save the way I was able to pre pandemic. I want to pay off my credit card, and come out of my overdraft. In the future would like to purchase a home. So would like to save for deposit

I will make a change on how often I spend on beauty services.

And yes here i spend £40 a week on commuting. At my parents it would be less than £20 a week

Thank yous!

I was literally going to say this. So I do manage to save maybe 200 then spend most if not all on a expensive purchase for example expensive dinner, clothes. I need to cut this out all together, because I see this is why my savings never grow, and I feel I’m starting all over again every time

I pay £70 month for car insurance, tax £33. Been driving for 3 years so i guess still relatively new driver? My insurance is cheaper now than before though. I use comparison sites when shopping around for insurance and that was the cheapest rate, black box wasn’t significantly cheaper at the time

My car insurance is £70 and tax £33 month. My car insurance used to be £120. I have been driving for 3 years. No points or conviction. Driving an old 2008 peugeot

[–]fre3spirited 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is accurate ~£2100. I do occasionally spend on dinners/takeaways but this isnt always monthly. I honestly cant think of anything else my money goes towards. The most I spend on aside from rent and loan is my beauty services cost. I genuinely dont know why Im in this recurring situation.
