What luxuries would you miss most if you ran out of money?

£76 is easy, but not in the long term. when you need new shoes or a jacket or home repairs, then there's no slack to fall back on and you are screwed. That's proper poor, not the 'holiday from a well-paid job' being talked about here.

Fair point.

If I look at my current living budget and the fact that I can't even seem to rustle up the cash to get my teeth sorted, it would be nigh on impossible on £76 per week

It can get to -30 degree F in December in Nebraska. I'm sure it depends quite a lot on climate.

The way the kids moan about it you'd think it was -30 here

The aim of that idea is for people trying to get out of debt or clear their mortgages.

I hope you don't mean my thread

We are proper poor, more poor than I've ever been. 'Struggling to keep a roof over our head' poor.

Nah not you madz, the people talking about saving up then not working all summer. And Zenie - that sound sounds like an ideal use for an austere lifestyle.

Nah not you madz,

Ok
