Hi, according to my figures you have £49.04 per week to spend on food and anything else including hair etc. This assumes you stop saving. You are not in a position to save. I suggest firstly to stop overspending you write this amount in a little book on a Monday to start debt control and prevent overspend. Keep a note of all you spend by subtraction. Next follow the advice already given on cutting back. Your biggest overheads are the rent and car; look to tackle these first. The gym and sky may need to go if you need more money to spare. Ignore your bank balance.
Good luck, the figures are as follows:
income weekly monthly
