expensive months, whats been your worst

[KMB]

£150,000 on a house and £60,000 paying off the ex-girlfriend for her share of the house....... 2nd March 2008 was an expensive day.

On the plus side I cleared the mortgage December 2008 and have been debt free since

 

[Lora-x]

Every month is expensive, especially with my car and all its problems.
This month:
Service and cambelt £460, new brake pads and discs £200, petrol £200 all other bills £500
October 2009: New gearbox and clutch kit £950, new headlight (as a pigeon flew into mine) £50 other bills £500, petrol £200.
April 2009: New wheels £650, tyres £250, fitting £40, service, £300, MOT £40, Insurance £1100

I hate to think how much money I have actually spent on my 182!!

 

[KMB]

That's pretty shocking

 

[JCC]

Next month mine will be

300ish on fuel
425 on crash damage repair
250 for 2 new tyres
30 quid on show plates
180 on tax
260 on remap

So you need tax, two tyres, and crash damage repaired on a car you've had 2 months?

I guess on the 172 it was the cambelt and service bill which was £550-£600 I have forgotten.

Mine was about 12 years ago.

Borrowed £2000 off my mum to buy a Orion 1600i Ghia on the saturday.

Bought it Sunday.

Borrowed £1400 off Dad to insure it on Monday (TPFT!! IDIOT!)

Wrote it off the following tuesday! Had it 8 days!

Expensive lesson.
