    it might not be the wisest thing, but it is fun getting legless

    SP, you do sound like you are the most boring graduate in the whole world

    Boring really but at least I don't come to any harm.

    Maybe I am harming myself emotionally and socially being so boring.

    I remember seeing somewhere that for alot of people it would actually be cheaper for them to get taxis everywhere than to pay for the car they own.

    Typical car costs:
    £810 before you've driven it anywhere or allowed for depreciation- from:
    http://www.moneymatterstome.co.uk/7-Personal-life-choices/Sub1/Activity-BuyingACar.htm

    depreciation and interest payments could easily be another £500.
    so you're talking £1310 before you've paid for a drop of petrol to go anywhere, that's £25 a week.

    If you don't use your car to get to work, it's quite possibly cheaper to simply take two or three taxis a week.
    very interesting
    Fear God and dread nought :cool:

    When you have your own place you wont be able to afford it - do it now while you're living at home.
