How much...

[Chalky.]

How much can you live off per month?

Including rent, bills, food, fuel etc?

I reckon I'm down to about £320ish, but I'm a right tight bastard.

[MarJay]

[yuri2085]

My rent is significantly more than that and I would have to live 2 miles off campus to have that 320 as my entire rent.

[Scooty]

That would be nice.

About £1000 for rent, council tax, train ticket, food and bike insurance. Damn, no wonder I'm always overdrawn

Over £1600 a month here before buying food.

[Pabbers]

My childcare bills alone are around 800 per month!!

[Carl_steveo]

Over a grand a month. My rent alone is £495. Add to that on average every month £100 Gas, £50 Electric, £35 mobile contract, £50 Internet/Tv/House phone. Then food a month is about £200, council tax is £65ish and then a few hundred on nights out a month. A fair amount lol. Seriously if theres any young'ns out there thinking about moving out of their parents house, don't do it. You might be making some money but seriously its far better to pay rent to your parents and have spare cash for fun than be skint all the time.

I once said to some one going on about buying a house at a stretch, that the lovely house is likely to become a prison as such .... don't buy houses and leave your self nothing ..

I could do about £900 that includes everything, rent, council tax, phones, broadband, lovefilm, gas, elecy, etc... but that's if I cycle, otherwise add another £40 to that. Gives me plenty of disposable per month to either save or spend, not that it ever feels like I have any spare cash right enough

[MonkeyKnuckle]

£400 for rent, bill, council tax etc. Then probably another £100 or so on food etc.

I'm moving back home soon though to save money so that'll drop to £60 or so a month.

750 - Rent
250 - Bills
45 - Car + Bike insurance
40 - petrol
70 - Sky, Mobile phone, Broadband etc

---------
£1155 for regular stuff - Then:

50 - old credit card
100 - old loan / debts
100 - other loan

----------
£1405 goes out before i spent owt' Then:

200 food (wife, me + 2 sprogs)

---------

So all in all about £1600 This leaves very little for me to try and save some money for the kids / any new toys for me (bikes!) / holidays / days out etc....

pretty much have no money to actually enjoy myself, and am shagged if anything goes wrong with the bike or car.... though things should ease off a touch when credit cards / loans are paid off.... i pretty much just live for when i'm debt free and can afford to do something again!

Edit: also the wife pays for all the child care (2x kids in nursery) that's about £6 / £700 a month + nappies + baby food + baby clothes + baby shoes (fcuk me they're a rip off - honest to god, who ever decided tiny fcuking dolls shoes that fit babies should be £20 needs a slap) plus her car etc.. we pretty much just live to earn money to pay for everything, it makes me very very miserable at times.

[The Shaggy D.A.]

Just had a quick look at my spreadsheets, and for two of us it's a rough monthly average of...

£100 Electric, Gas, Water
£110 Council Tax
£50 TV/Phone/Internet
£50 2 mobiles
£100 2 cars
£20 Bike
£100 Fuel
£200 Food
£730 Total

If I were on my own, without altering my lifestyle, that would come down to about £440. That doesn't include any entertainment spending, just basic living costs.

Next year will be:
Tuition fees 3375/12 = 281 per month
80 per week rent = 347 per month
Bills 15 per month
Food 100-200 depending on how well I manage myself
Going out = 200-350 a month depending on how much more of that I spend on food (my metabolism is ridiculous )

It adds up

All in all my budget is just over 11k for 2011-2012 (food and going out only applies to half the year when I'm away from home)

[DrDonnyBrago]

£850 a month would be tight.

[Tristan.]

I live with the gfs mother, and pay her £200 a month covering everything.

Hence in a few months I'm buying something fast.

[c_dug]

About £800 a month bare minimum, but I can never do it

Pay varies month to month but on a good month I might take home a little over a grand and out of that comes:

£435 - Rent (inc all bills and internet)
£200 - Petrol
£45 - Insurance
£20 - Mobile contract
£?? - Credit card
£??X - Various bank fee's
£??? - Food


The last three change month to month so it's a bit hard to be accurate. It's fair to say I don't have much to spare though

Thats my outgoings all in all. The loan will be finished come april, and then I should have around £1100 a month to either save, or waste on a serious amount of alcohol haha.
