Thanks. Yeah. A little over half the amount she asked for... I would feel that plenty. I'd need to be a LOT more careful than I am now. And yes I would still see that as a significant investment that I would expect something for (thinking of all the other things that money could be going on and all...)
That actually sounds more realistic to me...
With the amount she asked for... I wouldn't be able to save anything on that. And I'd be pushing it every week to be able to pay her. And as for saving... I need some kind of emergency fund in case I need to go to the doctor or something. And I need to save something for a bit of a holiday at some point. Maybe to go to NZ for a bit... Maybe to go to a neighbouring city for a bit... But I think getting away for a week or so at some point will be fairly neccessary for my mental health lol. Of course I'm thinking backpackers... But must do it.
Gotta go - sorry. Be back later
