Yikes, that's what bothers me... at £30k I could afford the finance payments and budget in about £100/month for running costs but any more than that I just couldn't justify/afford
...unless I live in the car.....
Is a shame about the running costs I do have the option of pulling 6 day weeks at work (the 6th day would pay the extra needed for the running costs) but not sure how long I could last with only 1 day/week off
Oh well, there's always the lottery
