my dad always said if its got skirt or wheels you cant afford it.

the wheels i agree with but thats a whole new topic.

Can you not buy a bike and ride into work? I mean a peddle bike as well, not a motor one.

Not being able to afford much and budgeting will help you manage your money better as you get older. You will value money more too.

Wise Wise words, I wish I had looked into that idea when I first started working, instead of spending loads per week on bus fares, I could have got to and from work (About 10 miles round trip) on about £4 petrol per week!!

My son is at college full time and he works nights to pay for his motobike etc and he pays me £25.00 a week board and he is 16yr, if he wants anything he has to save for it.

If you get a pushbike you will not need to go to the gym so you will save more money.

(son does not know it but i am keeping his board so when he wants a car he will have some money towards it)
