These days even (<= VP level) FO quants are rarely getting bonuses of around 90%. Also, a 65K GBP base will give you around 4K(net)/month. Saving 1.5K off that and paying a 2K for rent leaves you with 500 quid to spend on food and girls... Here comes the sweet&sour chicken diet and internet porn......You don't need to rent a £2k/mth flat.agreed. you can have ur s&s chicken and watch bang brothers porn in a room in a shared apartment, with a bunch of other millionaire-in-six-years wannabes.What? All I'm saying is that you can rent a nice 1 bed flat near the City / Canary Wharf for much less than £2k / month.you're gonna have a nice surprise next time they adjust your rentI must be a model tenant 'cause I rented a flat in Wapping for 3 years and paid the same amount of rent all the time.A flat found on zoopla I could rent: http://www.zoopla.co.uk/to-rent/details/31444292Now tell me why I'm a porn-watching chicken-stuffed lowlife.not bad, maybe a bit smallI rented my last flat for £1400 pm - 1 bed, concierge, good location (my first flat/room, was £600 pm). The estimated rent for the flat I bought is £2200 according to Zoopla. My sis bet on the posher flats going down in price and delayed the purchase - they got a much better flat for a not much higher price :-(/:-) Partly probably because I am not as good at haggling ;-)

I am sure if eating babies were in vogue, you would eat more babies each year. But try to find your own path, a little.

QuoteOriginally posted by: UltravioletI don't believe you that you have $10.Who gives a fuck when I can get two rum-and-cokes and a slice of pizza for $9.50 at Dirty Blondes. And that slidey game is free as surely as you will be divorced in three years.

Assuming a starting salary of £60k he can save....Much easier than getting the million.Take him up on the bet, and we can all diarise to check up on your relationship in xmas 2016!

QuoteOriginally posted by: edouardJealous GuySaying she will be divorced, if it has any effect at all, will be more likely to make it less likely, in my opinion. And it can hardly be taken as saying something that will punish UV by causing her unpleasant feelings right now, because if she cares at all, she thinks it is silly. Therefore, the most likely effect of my statement is a benefit to UV, at no immediate cost to her o benefit to me; a gesture of total generosity.

It's never wise to wish anyone ill.
