‘I earn six figures but I don’t feel rich’

[Crystalalan]

I could copy and paste that as an example of my life

My washer dryer machine I bought second hand couple of years ago, think it was £100 but like new only used a handful of times, guy selling it had lost his accommodation and was living with his mum and the machine was being stored in his car so he needed to get rid of it. It was worth about £350 and was, and still is perfect.

TV unit I got from a charity shop, again like new, you could get it in IKEA for £70, I bought it for £15.

32" LCD tv that I don't use as I don't like it... well that was given to me from my Grandma when my Grandad passed away, it was his bedroom tv that she didn't watch.

My king size bed and mattress I bought from the previous tenant 7 years ago now, it again was like new and got it for £100.

Sofa bought it from my neighbour from my previous place for £30, again like new and still is because I never sit on it, it's just there for show really

It's amazing really, you can actually get everything you need for very little money, if you're desperate then I'm almost certain you could get everything you need for free if you're not too fussy.

Absolutely right. Facebook marketplace is great for cheap clobber. As is gumtree and back in the day I used to use free ads. Now that's a blast from the past.
