Dunno, I don't ask what he spends it on although I suppose people have differing outgoings, if nowt else I suppose the dosh he gets off me insures and taxes his car for the year all for minimal effortNot criticising the fella at all mind. I did a load of teaching Chemistry undergrads. Was only during term time but an extra 50-100 quid a week pays for the groceries.

People doing PhDs simply don’t have the same outgoings as people not doing them. I seem to spunk money left right and centre these days because I have so much more time
