You are joking aren't you? £150 a week.....pay £20 for rent and food etc and you are complaining?

but, by my reckoning, then you have £55 left over per week (150 - 95)
and, if you tihnk that £20 a week to your dad as rent is unfair, try moving out and see how 'unfair' rents in the rental market are..

but, if you want to reduce spending...
£20 per week on clothes? is this necessary?
£20 on gym? is this necessary? why not run outside? its free...or can you get cheaper gym? local council leisure centre gyms are usually cheaper than ones such as LA fitness etc

why not take a packed lunch to college and save yourself £20.00,(use it to pay your dad)my son takes his own lunch to college because I wont lend him money,so he has to make £255.00 last a whole 4 weeks,I dont lend him money because he has to learn to budget ,a hard lesson to learn,if he spends it all in a couple of weeks then he is skint until he receives his next payment.Its taken 4 months but hes finally caught on.

£20 per week is good. Your only 17 and one day when your older you will realise how lucky you are. If you don't like it try to rent somewhere for £20 a week and if you do manage it we would all like you to let us know where

thanks for all replys i dont mind paying my dad it is just that i need to save up and buy a car and it will take me so long to do that. as i live about 15 miles away from my work placement. but people say once u get a car u have no money that scares me
