fair play to you Shiner, you work to pay your way, thats good enough
i came home from austrailia in 93 and was in a fair emount of debt to credit cards
i had a well paid job in sydney, i lived in a house that had a fair few shareing and my rent per fortnight was what i earnt in 2 and a bit hours work, i didnt really understand the " backpackers lifestyle, it consisted of, working
eating a packet of supernoodles a day and tha was it "
it was living a poor life in a different city / town / country, what was the point
Now me on the other hand, i lived like a king
out on the beer every night, i did my PADI scuba diver to instructor level, i ate out every night ( chinese, lebanese, thai etc etc ) i would often phone my boss from the bar at 7 in the morning and say " pick me up at this bar " then go off to do a days work, then get home, shower and back on it, it didnt come cheap, i ran up a massive debt at the time ( these days its small fry )
i got home and didnt go out with the lads for allmost 1 year ( apart from the week i got home, the lads threw a bit of a party for me , it was very hard, as i liked my nights out ) , i knuckled down and worked and paid if off, it was tough, the interest was 1 weeks pay per month
but it soon came down
now i will not owe the CC any more than what i have in myt biz account or whats owed to me from commercail jobs
