Fair enough, to be honest if you lose your card someone can order all kinds online through the 16 digit number and the 3 digit code on the back can't they?

Depends on how much they spend in one transaction . My card got knocked back when I ordered a fridge and cooker from AO.com for my new flat . It was me using it , too . I had to phone the bank to verify it was me , and re-ordered them . So somebody using your card might have the same problem . I say problem , it's more of a security thing .

My natural poor looks and lack of personality has steered me away from such pitfalls mate.

I had you down as more than a twelve pint a month man too.

Now just because I don't go out much doesn't mean I don't drink much, I have a beer at home instead. I don't know or that's a good if a bad thing though.

.......If I can offer any advice, try and pay your mortgage off in your 50s. I appreciate everybody's circumstances are different but it makes a huge difference.

Contactless refers to the latest balance stored on the chip, which is refreshed each time you make a regular chip and pin transaction on a network-connected terminal. If you want your Contactless transactions to come through, just do a chip and pin purchase.

Learn something new everyday! Cheers

I have not done the contactless. Do not know why I have not been told or offered to do that when I have been paying for stuff. I should just go back to the best way of doing it. Cash.

If you exclude rent I think I spend not a lot on food and beer (thanks Aldi for having 12x Tennants on the cheap and also cheap food) and about £12-17 a month on cigarettes.

Found a fiver on the floor outside work at lunchtime. Best Monday ever!

I keep $60 out of my paychecks for personal use. Same as my wife. Everything else that is left over after bills goes to retirement/investing.

Consumerism is for suckers until you've made your nut.

What on earth could you even buy for $60? Mental. You remind me of an old fella I used to work with in a factory who had the snidest white bread butties with slices of tomato on, nothing else. Every single day, and he was laughing at us with proper dinners because 'he'd have his mortgage paid off in 15 years'
Oh wow, 15 years of tomato butties on snide bread or actually having some sort of life, tough choice.
