Wine and chips...interesting combo, must try it sometimes.

I don't to too badly financially, and more than half my income is still unspent at the end of the month. The thing that pisses me off about money is that it doesn't matter how much or how little you have, it only matters what you know to do with it.

Couple of years ago, I had a nice fat 5-figure stash, and decided to resign and take some time off, and find out what to do with it. Weeks turned to months, turned to a year. Back under 5 figures again, and needed a job before things worsened.

Trouble is, if I were the son of a wealthy family, not only would I have easy access to starting capital, but much more happily, I'd have a raft of GOOD, sound business ideas. Heck, it wouldn't matter if I were 5-figures in the RED, as long as you know how to make money FROM money, lenders are always willing. Right now, nobody in my family has a clue about what constitutes a good venture. Well, ok, we have a few embryonic ideas, but I sometimes sigh and wonder why I have to figure it all out for myself. Every swine comes to me trying to pick my brains. Whose brains can I pick? I hate being surrounded by people without an ounce of entrepreneurial spirit. I don't mind working and saving up, but I DO resent the fact that nobody is willing to share the REAL wealth... know-how.

Anyway, what do I spend on? As a bodybuilder, my dietary requirements in 'Bulking' phase are quite expensive compared to most people. I could easily spend about £50-100 a week on food, although the phase only lasts a few months.

Other than that, nothing spectacular. A few drinks and a meal or two out on the weekends, tis about all.
