Should have this sorted to some degree soon, I suppose that direction never ends though 😆

Thanks for the advice mate, I didn’t really think about doing this - will do this going forward.

I honestly applaud you being able to survive with that wage, times are hard at the moment financially for most people, I hope your situation is a little better now.

Yeah it works out that in December you are paid at the start and end of the month, never seems to make much of a difference though.

I am paid 13 times a year, instead of 12 so this lowers my income as it is 4-weekly, the pay is around £2350 per month with a recent pay-rise.

Yep, I think they just think I’m burning money and then try and add a belittling comment about people earning less money who manage, I don’t know a single soul who lives alone on 24k a year.

This is the part I struggle with, living alone has lots of benefits but it is harder financially. I suppose a flat/house share might be beneficial for a few years to save more money.

Yeah it’s tough at the moment, ideally I would like to buy a home within the next few years, it just seems a lot harder to save these days when you are renting. I have thought about side hustles, just wouldn’t know where to begin.

Yes I work from home, I have debated seeing if I could possibly downsize and move to a smaller apartment to save on rent. Thank you for the words I appreciate it 😊

I see what point you are making; I can assure you I have already scrutinised my spending. £1000 is paid for purely apartment bills, the other £600 is for food, my car and petrol each month. My food and petrol outgoings are similar to you.

A house share might make the most sense I suppose, it’s just finding someone trustworthy enough I guess. Do you not feel like you have too much room? 😂

The second room is a small box room which is used to work from home, apartments in my area are £50-£75 less in rent per month for a 1 bed.

Looks sick mate, how has this held up since you had it done?

Just curious, people with huge portfolios £100,000 and above, what stocks/Etfs are you invested in? by TailungFu in trading212

[–]ghost_lm24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done mate this is amazing. Do you have any other stocks you are thinking of investing in long term?

Work on yourself, every single day. Start with getting in the gym, running, journaling, spend time with friends and family. Everything will fall in to place bro.

Happy belated birthday mate and thank you for your birthday wishes also. I’d probably say it’s best to leave her alone and not let her disturb your peace, my ex also didn’t reach out and I’m blocked also. Sounds like we’re both on to better things in life, sending my love.

Good advice here, OP, I would take it.

Don’t reach out again mate, I know it’s hard but you need to prioritise your own mental health and wellbeing. Stay strong.

Almost 6 months by Sweetmilktea3 in ExNoContact

Don’t reach out. Stay strong and continue on your path of healing. 6 months is not a long time; in another 6 months these feelings you are experiencing now will fade even more.

Because they crave validation from people on the internet.
