Not always.
Sometimes, if I've saved and/or sold something, then there will be a fair chunk of dosh in there.

...and I rarely sell things. The things I have bought were for investment, not quick profit.

Houses here are expensive, this is the best deal I could get.

I nearly had to go for a 4 bed place in the next village along - that would have meant just under 1500 quid a month.

I'm not claiming poverty, I'm merely answering the question, which was; Would I be better off not working - I think there's benefit to both. Not working would mean my outgoings would more than halve, and dental treatment etc... would be free.

Admittedly, at the start of the year when I had massive toothache, I did also have a massive tax bill to pay as well, rendering me unable to pay the 200 quid to get my teeth fixed, so I may have stretched the truth inadvertently by not putting that bit in.

So where do you live then?
Sounds like pretty steep house prices.
Even steeper than London in fact.....
