    hi, your amount of life ins seems quite high to me, i dont really know much about it but it seems you're forking out alot each month for it!

    How many people are you feeding, check out the OS Board for ways to save money on food bills, its amazing how much you can save if you just be a little bit careful.

    hope that helps a bit but i'm sure others will be along soon :o

    your outgoings on debts are £688.26 a month this doesnt count your overdrafts and is 46% of your wages.

    you have 3 life insurance policies can i ask why ?

    as you have loans and CC`s is it safe to assume you have consolidated in the past ?

    80 miles a day on £50 petrol ,,, I guess that £50 is a week then ? would changing the car for a diesel not be an option ?
