Fair enough. But take a tip or two from Uncle Geoff:-
1) Make up your mind what it is you're trying to do.
2) Differentiate between wants and needs.
3) Make a plan (including, if necessary, a budget).
4) Cut out non-essentials and live within your means.
5) Simplify. Sell off anything you don't actually need.
That is, "cut your cloth" ... and stick with it!
All of which is not always as easy as it sounds, of course.
Work
per se may not be (is invariably not) the answer. Look at me, for example:- I have plenty of work, but very little money. What I actually need is time (and that's something no-one can buy).
Buying cheap and selling dear can do the trick, however, if you have a flair for that sort of thing (and I don't, I would be the first to admit).
As we all know, the banks don't help any more (if they ever did), and saving is actually a waste of money (interest is less than inflation). You are better off investing in something that is likely to appreciate in value (like a fine old British motorcycle, for instance) ... or even, dare I say it, tools and test equipment (and the like) with a view to conducting proper biomedical engineering services (yes, there is a continuing need).
Good Luck, then!
