Rooftop moves from bike company to company putting out a bashguard frame, no one buys them.

« on: September 20, 2016, 03:35:48 AM »On the subject of being stuck; I am getting a job at the university. It's like a 10 min ride on my bike compared to the 65 mile/day commute now and almost 2x the pay. Stoked that at least this gives me a little more diversity for resume purposes.
I'm potentially doing the opposite commute wise, got an interview next month which would turn a 2.5 mile commute into a 25 mile one, albeit for a sizeable pay increase. I kinda know it would do my head in but having been at my current job over 10 years I feel it's now or never.

Yeah that's definitely a big key to success, all my direct debits / mortgage / bills come out the day after payday, makes things so much easier when it comes to budgeting and giving you a clear idea of what you actually have.
One thing I would definitely recommend if you can afford to, is overpaying your mortgage. I put an extra £100 a month into mine and it knocks years off it.

I've got my financial situation down to an art. Basically spend nothing Mon-Fri and survive off bananas at work, then do a big food shop on the weekend for veg / fruit primarily, go to Costco once a month for other shit like rice, tinned goods etc. Ride my bike everywhere so no daft car costs. My mortgage is completely covered by the rent I charge my girlfriend for living with me. Leaves me with masses of disposable income to waste on expensive bikes, beer and holidays, the important things in life.

Ulver are superb, one of the best to do it. I've been going back through my US Black Metal records recently, Weakling, Myrkskog, Leviathan, Lurker of Chalice, WITTR, Striborg etc, bleak stuff.

If you have a hole in the tube fill it with expanding foam.

Baffling why Wales voted leave, they get far more money from the EU than they give.
