    Also the point of this is to help me cut back. I am currently not being chased nor am i paying any debtors.

    Hi, thanks for the reply, I live at home with parents ( I'm asian so it's perfectly acceptable :P ) I do offer keep, but it's always refused, but i do pay towards major repairs like washing machine breaking or a unexpected large bill.

    My car, is fully paid for in cash, as was my insurance. I had learnt this lesson previously. It is my baby, and my one vice.

    I could defiantly cut down at the work food, it is hideously overpriced.

    This money i lent to my brother who has just paid me it back. As per our agreement, not a second late, so it's currently kept in a lockbox

    The reason for the monthly cost of insurance on the SOA is so you can put money aside each month to pay it in full next year - and the same with big household expenses etc. Do you have a plan for saving for your next car/eventual home deposits?
    But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,
    Had the whole of their cash in his care.

    Your expenses are £519 but you have £2480 of debts. You have an income of £1500. So my question is how did you run up your debts, which are relatively small. The problem is that you must be spending on things that you have left out of your SOA. Where does your extra money go?

    Why?

    How come you're in debt at all?
