Soldato
What do you mean by flat screen? As a 37" flat screen CRT in the 80's wasn't just "nothing special" (avg size tv in the 80's was 21-24") and flat screen (lcd) tv's weren't publicly sold until the late 90's iirc?
Rear projection jobbie?

Broadband: Old TV caused village broadband outages for 18 months
Engineers walked around the village with a monitor called a spectrum analyser to try to find any "electrical noise" to help pinpoint the problem.
"At 7am, like clockwork, it happened," said Mr Jones.
"Our device picked up a large burst of electrical interference in the village.
"It turned out that at 7am every morning the occupant would switch on their old TV which would, in-turn, knock out broadband for the entire village."
The TV was found to be emitting a single high-level impulse noise (SHINE), which causes electrical interference in other devices.
Yeah. If you're in the middle of the wage scale,not really any way to escape once you get past 30
You could retrain - costing many years of your life for something that might not pay off
You could do extra hours - but tax make it not worth the time
A pay rise of a few thousand - isn't going to make much difference.
If that's what you want to take away from this thread, then it doesn't matter what anybody says (or has actually said), you'll see what you want to see.So the past 4-5 pages have reaffirmed my position that every idiot wants to live in the south, have a skillset that is woefully inadequate and yet they still want a 500k house, nice cars (on hp) 2 holidays a year long haul, flexi time, half the subs you can get and all the latest tech oh and a flutter on Kickstarters as you may get a bargain.
All straight after you have left uni or at the very least by the time you are 27....
Sympathy gone, i have enough stashed away for a buy to let. Might as well use it i guess.
/Thanks
I'm not sure I agree with that.
I almost doubled my salary at the age of 38. It involved some time on the side learning a new skill (partly through a project role in my existing job) and the rest of it was transferable skills which I already had.

I don't see why not.Of course it’s possible, several pieces fell into the right place for you to do this but it’s not likely or even possible for most people.

I don't see why not.

Not really, I just do not buy it. My nephew for example 23 years old, left school with with average GSCE and got took on as a painter and decorator. Constantly working (still finds the time to buy a new shirt every Saturday and get mashed in the evening) yet has managed to save and buy his first house on his own and in the process of moving up to a 3 bed semi new build around Nottingham.
As he puts its, its called "graft" but i guess its what you want out of life.
If your a sheeple then your job is simple spend spend spend, get in debt and stay in debt and spend even more.
Surely if most people aks themselves the question "can I earn more money" the answer must be yes - it's more a question of commitment to it surely?
People either need to spend less or earn more if they want on the ladder - otherwise your just waiting for a huge house price correction that may never come (and probably isn't in the best interest of the majority). Even if it takes someone 10 years plus to save a deposit it's got to be worth it.Everyone can't earn more money though, the simple matter is houses cost a lot more compared to annual wage now than they did 30 odd years ago. This means that people have to save more for a deposit which takes longer and longer due to high rents.
