House of DOOM

[LeperousDust]

That's the thing i have a sensible head, i know how to plan, and over plan, and then plan some more. I'm as patient as anything when it comes to getting the right deal be it something big (a flat) or just my next mobile phone, i never really attempt anything and expect results there and then. That's why i think this would really suit me.

Budget wise i KNOW i'd be fine, i'm as you describe yourself, the kinda person to book a return flight only to South Africa 1.5 months ago for 24 days via holland) and then work the rest out as i go along. But when it comes to vital budget or "important stuff" i'm well within my limits, i tend to "round" significantly to the favour of a catastrophe

Anyway my father is the same, DIY king and fixes everything for everyone locally. I follow in his footsteps and if somethings physically broken i'll damn well fix it, at times where most people would buy new or look elsewhere... The last thing that worries me about doing any of this would be DIY!

Problem is i don't have any real working capital at all right now and didn't really think of where to look etc... I've obviously only ever rented, everything is that arena is daunting and i generally just can't be bothered, because at the end of the day my salary is beyond pitiful and any type of FA or bank manager would laugh pretty hard i'd imagine. So barriers to entry in my eyes seem fairly huge!

It would suit me fine as i dont care where i live or if i have a permanent abode (you're talking to the guy who spent 6 months in a hostel in the city he "lives" in ). I don't have a huge amount of personal belongings that i really need to shift round all the time...

All lots to think about i guess! Really need to sensibly save money before anything, so should probably stop travelling at the drop of a hat!
