  • Im paying nearly £200 p/m just for a zone 1-5 tube pass! Luckily i got rid of my car before moving down as iv saved so much by doing so.

    But long term i will buy a car again, looking at a BMW Z4 second hand under 10k.

    Not a terrible month, £1856 saved, now just under £58000. Got my P60 today so hopefully my accountant can work some magic and get some tax back for when I lived abroad. I'm thinking of setting up as a Ltd company to boost my earnings a bit, bricking it however! Anyone done the same?
