Each to their own i guess , seems a bit anal to me though :? Homelife is homelife , you can,t file it on computer ,it just happen's
Left home into first house at 19 (now 45), had 2 children now 21 & 18 , Never been overdrawn , EVER ! & have never worked out monthly/yearly outgoings :|
We ust live within our means
Do understand you Ruby , sell the car before things tighten up , always best to be in front of the tide .
There will be other nice cars as & when you are ready & maybe consider the cheaper to run non M Z ? :thumbsup:
 
I was in the same boat a few years ago when i bought my house... But imo it gets cheaper.. Once the initial shock of ownership buying new things for it, once you are used to the regular mortgage costs its ok.

One idea is get a housemate... Thats what i did then, and the income and company is very handy!

if you're salaried it is easier, self employed a bit pointless I guess. it does give an element of forecasting though - things mightn't be so tight in 3 months.
 
Does your new gaff have a garage?

If yes, you could always consider https://www.gov.uk/register-sorn-statutory-off-road-notification until you have better cashflow?

Yeah it does but it's small. I'm in the process of getting foam up on the walls for the Zed. I reversed her in but didn't dare open a door to try and exit. It's worth considering your suggestion :thumbsup:

I've seriously considered the housemate option but I think I will be a nightmare landlady as I've spent a lot on a very pale carpet throughout and Laura Ashley furnishings that are also pale. It's a no shoes house. I think it will be hard to have someone who may want to bring others back from time to time and I will struggle to trust people in my home. Stress levels might go up not down.

If you do - it's well worth doing a quick search on "preps for storing your car". There's a wealth of info out there. Good luck with what ever you decide :)
 
There is no option but to keep the Z. You will regret it in the future if you don't . There is no alternative.
 
Had mine for 3 months now and absolutely amazing . Nothing else to compare. Regretably bit of a problem with the harsh ride and my false teeth but I guess most on here havent got that problem!!

Don't have a camera or smart phone so cant post any pics atm. Bad form.
 
Life and circumstances will always change. When that feeling of should I sell is there and has crept into your mind it never really goes away. The decision is a struggle of head and heart when you have to sell a great car but that's all it is a car. You can always get another and maybe something even better than a Z. I wouldn't waste time and cash downgrading to a lesser model you will always regret that and hanker after your sold M.

I have to agree with this. I would rather completely sell and then upgrade to something better one day :evil: :driving:

My head seamstress used to do spreadsheets and she budgeted for even the amount of toilet paper they would use per year. (I sh1t you not. Pun intended)
 
Surely your income will increase as you progress in your career now that the training is out of the way (or nearly out of the way)? Therefore the disposable income bit should get easier, particularly as you've done a lot of the furnishing etc.

If you can afford to run it, and you enjoy owning it, then keep it. If it is preventing you from doing other things you really want to do then perhaps it's time to weigh up what takes priority.
