Our economy is on the brink of crisis
Fuel providers have just announced the likelihood of yet another increase in gas and electricity bills which could cost the average family an extra 400 per annum. Instead of working harder and harder just to keep up, mondaytofriday offers a positive alternative - weekday renting

/Economy News Articles/ - OXFORD, UK, August 21, 2008 - Fuel providers have just announced the likelihood of yet another increase in gas and electricity bills which could cost the average family an extra 400 pounds Stirling per annum. Petrol prices hike up almost monthly, which in turn, affects the cost of the food on our tables. So, every day, householders are bracing themselves for the next blight on their costs of living. They need to work harder and harder just to keep up. Or, is there a positive alternative?

Mondaytofriday.com homeowners - and lodgers - are earning and saving money by making a sensible compromise during the week, nationwide, and even in Europe. How?

Homeowners rent out their spare rooms to a lodger who needs to live nearer their work. Lodgers can live nearer to a job which is far away from home during the week, without having to spend large amounts on travel fares. Or, in extreme circumstances, have to sell their home and uproot to a completely new location, or even buy an additional 'crash pad' in today's unpredictable housing market.

But the best bit for both sides is that it's only part time. Homeowners reclaim their space back every weekend when their lodgers go home; and lodgers step back into their family lives at the end of the working week. It's a workable compromise...

So what kind of money are we talking about?

Homeowners can earn up to 4,250 pounds Stirling per annum, tax-free, under the government's rent-a-room-scheme by renting out their spare rooms.

A lodger, for instance, who lives in Birmingham, but works in London, would spend around 730 pounds Stirling per month on rail fares. But alternatively, could rent a mondaytofriday.com room in a comfortable house, with shared facilities for around 400 pounds Stirling a month in Chiswick London W4, paying out rail fare only for one out bound/return journey at the start and end of their week. And for the record, a full-time rental in the same area amounts to around 900 pounds Stirling per month, so there's a possible saving of around 500 in rent just by being a mondaytofriday.com lodger. Of course, there is always the costly alternative of buying a one bedroom 'crash pad' in W4 as a second home, for at least 200,000 pounds Stirling...

And, for someone who lives in London, needs to work in Manchester (consider the recent BBC migration) but doesn't want to uproot their family ties, the equation is equally simple. This particular commute carries a standard monthly rail fare of just over 1,000 per month, but is also just too long to be tackled every day. Alternatively, a mondaytofriday.com room in Manchester can be rented during the week for around 300 pounds Stirling per month; with a full time rental coming in at approximately 650 pounds Stirling . This offers a potential saving in rent of 350 pounds Stirling; not to mention avoiding rail fare costs, apart from an out bound/return journey at the beginning and end of each week. Buying a one-bedroom 'crash pad' in Manchester would cost at least 142,000 pounds Stirling...

All in all, making a workable compromise and being a weekday renter with mondaytofriday.com makes sound sense to anyone's pocket.

Mondaytofridayers speak for themselves:

Lodger Paul Grainger says: "Living in Lincolnshire and working at a university in London would mean a very difficult, daily two and a half hour commute each way. But lodging through mondaytofriday, I'm able to live in London Monday to Thursday and return home every weekend to be with my family. And, as a bonus, I'm saving 500 pounds Stirling each month because I don't have to commute every day or rent out a flat full time."

Homeowner Diana Grace Jones says: "As a Mondaytofriday.com homeowner, I can earn some useful extra money by taking in a weekday lodger, with the added bonus of being able to reclaim my home each weekend."
