    Well did you ask:

    ‘do I need it?, can I afford it?, is it worth it?, can I find it cheaper elsewhere?’”

    And are you slipping into the dark side? Will your lightsabre change colour? Or is that just because you grip it too hard and it's going purple..?

    Do I need them? Well my others were wearable but were looking scruffy!

    Can I afford it? Yes. All paid for in cash.

    Is it worth it? Are any trainers worth £85? :eek:

    Could I find it cheaper? I didn't really look but it wouldn't have been cost effective anyway! :rotfl:

    I'm already on the dark side! :cool:

    I was in a similar position as you at the start of the year re moving out. I was at home, going slowly mental and planning ever more intricate forms of murder. I wasn't always bothered about getting away with it either! Anyway, I did move out and rented a room and although it does cost me more in money, the improved standard of living (and not gritting my teeth constantly) makes it soooooo worth it. If it takes you a bit longer to buy a house, fine. Why the rush? Plenty of people don't buy til in their 30s now. Don't punish yourself for being in debt by living somewhere that's putting you on edge just to allow you to get into £100k+ of debt more quickly...

    I don't know why but I feel like I just have to buy when I move out! I'd not given much thought to renting but maybe I need to think about it more! :think:

    I'm definately gonna do it when the credit card debt is paid off. That will be the start of the year (hopefully) and I'll be 27 then! :eek:

    Think it's about time I learnt to iron! ;)
