RE: It's not how much you earn. It's how much you spend.

Best of luck with the house hunting man. I'd be inclined to be very patient to though and not rush into buying the wrong house. Make a list with herself of things you really want that are non negotiable and then start looking. Doer uppers can get very expensive very fast especially with materials and labour prices how they are.

I'll tell you one thing though, the auld euros are not stretching nearly as far as they were, so everyone is going to have to tighten their belts a little and you've some excellent tips here on ways to start 👌

We might have to leave it until next year with the banks. Going to view this house tuesday but we haven't been saving regularly.

We have the money put away but they want regular savings. Hopefully a better option comes up later and we are ready to jump straight in.

The euro's don't last long anymore. Hungry kids burn through most of them.

Stop man we're the exact same the cost of everything seems to be just going up up and there's no end to it, so come the end of the month there's a little to nothing left for any discretionary spending. I see Holland in Germany both going into recession as well so I'm sure we're not too far behind along with other nations so I think there's going to be more inflation, interest rates going up, cost of living going up all of that good stuff but if you have cash in the bank that could be a good time to get a good deal over the next few years in terms of housing so my advice will be patient and wait for the right one for you guys. Don't rush into buying the wrong house and pay particular attention to location. I know people who built or bought in the wrong location and ended up regretting it so just make sure that the location is right for you guys maybe rent in the area you're thinking about buying in first to make sure it's suits.
