Not quite doable on my frankly insulting salary.

I have a talent for art.
Haven't touched a pencil or paintbrush for fucking years.

I don't have a talent for art
Doesn't stop me dicking about in Paint, although I've not had the inspiration for a comic in a long time.

My brother was an artistic prodigy
Really fucking good, 'A' Level then Art School then History of Art degree - the cunt doesn't even doodle when he's on the phone these days. He's done nothing creative apart from style his house for ten plus years. It's a fucking disgrace.

At least I still play music, and I draw too even though I'll never be as good as him.

Thank God that I'm here to supply the missing Ian Dury element to this discussion!
He was taught by Peter Blake and did the porrrait that adorns the front cover of his Lord Upminster album.

To be honest
I kinda live ever so slightly outside of my means, as shown by my credit card debt, but I'm trying to change that by limiting myself to only one game a month (if that).
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Fri 8 Oct 2010, 9:01, Reply)

That's the only thing I'm good at
I was very well taught by my parents, and I don't have any debt (apart from the mortgage) If I can't afford it, I don't do it, easy.

I haven't
left university with a £350 overdraft (and borderline malnourished) - paid it off my first payday. Always paid off my credit cards in full every month. I had finance once for a computer but paid it off when the interest-free period was up. Always paid 100% up front for my cars. My only debt is my house which I'll clear soon.

Already got that much
Most of which is from my last year of uni. I only use my CC now if I know I can pay it off within the month.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Fri 8 Oct 2010, 9:14, Reply)

I'm down to about 4900 I think and after I have to sell my car I'll clear that
And then pay for a car I no longer own for a couple years.

EPIC FINANCE FAIL

5k on one card, about 2k on the other
Shaved about 1k off it this year, not as much as I'd hoped but still.

My debts total about 30 grand.
It's only my 70k of equity that enables me to sleep at night.

As long as you are "servicing the debt" as I believe it's called you'll be ok - it's when you can't make repayments things get shittier

Not only am I servicing the debt
I am also nightly servicing half the adult female population of East London, on rotation.
