    As long as you're consistent and not unrealistic, inflating your income slightly works fine..

    I wasn't aware that having a high salary predcluded me from making stupid financial decisions and getting into debt. FWIW my wages are significantly higher now than they were when I was 24 however I have spent since I was 18 living like I earned the money I do now, hence the debt which I am now working my !!!! off to clear.

    I am only explaining myself because I feel slightly attacked on this as I had simply replied with something relevant to the thread that was there.
