our DD is for £77/ month, but thats including gas and electricity on a 3 bed semi. i always turn the heating off tho as im a miser.Target Savings by end 2009: 20,000
current savings: 20,500 (target hit yippee!)
Debts: 8000 (student loan so doesnt count)
new target savings by Feb 2010: 30,0000 -
Though as it has been a lot colder these past few months, it has been £80-£90 a month. Now, British Gas have told me that they are putting up my DD to £71 a month starting next month.
Given that they are already using £80-90 per month and BG want £71 I dont this the advice below makes any sense unless you want to end up with a large debt.I think it is a lot for a 2 bedroom flat so I would get onto BG and ask for it to be reduced to a much lower amount.IT Consultant in the utilities industry specialising in the retail electricity market.
