    I take home anything between £1,400 and £1,750, depends on overtime. As im still 19 i live with my parents.

    Board = £100 a month
    Phone = £40
    Petrol = £100
    Cards/loan payment = £100
    Car finance = £240
    Money on clothes/going out/take aways etc = £120
    Presents (average over year) = £25

    total out = £725.

    So taking home £1,400 - £725 out = £675 disposable. Utpo £1,025 if i do overtime to take earnings upto £1,750.

    You ain't payin' enough board....!

    Doesn't anybody eat? I never spend less than 10% of a month's income in any trip to a supermarket.

    On average I don't spend much more than £50 a month on food as i do a lot of cooking. The only outgoings I have atm is my mobile phone at £15 a month, so the rest is being saved towards hopefully buying a house before i'm 35 (ideally 30)
