This is so random..... It reads as, spend on WG's and be skint or cut back on WG's and have money to better manage your life.
I'm sure there are many on here who earn well, run businesses, and can easily achieve both.
Where did the £70-100k come from? Seems random....
If you earn £70k you're not exactly well off....... If you're on PAYE (i'm not, so this is a guesstimate) you come out with what, £4,500pm?
Thats bloody peanuts - especially if you have a mortgage/cars/SB's/G-F/family etc.....
Of course there are men like that, but how many do you reckon? If that was the case for the majority of men then, a thread like this would not even exist as no one would need to say anything at all. Everyone would just get on with it no?
To be honest yes you are right to an extent, taking family men into account then your statement is correct for a "middle class" family man still looking to punt and have SBs ect then earning 70-100K is not enough. However, look at the stats to see how many people in the population actually hit those figures and come back and say that 70-100K per annum is peanuts. People are raising families on far less. Yes, in the grand scheme of things it is. Perhaps to your scale it is peanuts and I understand aswell, I've come across people that lost 6 figs gambling and laugh about it so yes, it's all peanuts. However, to the average earner and those not earning those amounts it's not. I think if a single man with little expenses was earning that they could live a comfortable life to be honest but this is straying away from the topic so I'll stop.
My main point is that spending money on WGs is an expense, and that if people are unable to manage this expense it can impact other areas of their life just like overspending on other expenditures would. I'm not speaking for the baller punters; I'm speaking for the average punter looking to not overspend and impact other areas of their life because I understand the feeling looking at higher priced WGs and seeing other punters spend £££££ and talk about their escapades and wondering should I do the same and if I am missing out when I first started out and coming to terms that I must stick to the plan. Not every man is a high earning business man or high a earner and manages to acheive both with ease, low and middle earners also punt, some punt spending what they cannot afford, some perhaps punt and sacrifice in other areas, what reality are you seeing that makes you assume this is so easy to achieve? Perhaps for you it's easy and fair dos if so. I personally think it's more nuanced though, or I would have never posted in the first place.
