I have £150 left at the end of month and I manage to survive. Me and my OH don't have the greatest of fun at the moment but we know that it isn't going to last forever and you just have to think that every month you are one step closer to being debt free

Personally i would find it tight but its doable! We are quite lucky and will have about 1k after everything is paid possibly more but i know we are quite fortunate really. If you loan is finishing at least you know its only short term0

£350 is nearly £100 a week pocket money. Unless you binge drink I dont see a problem?0

That makes 3 of us then :heart2: Love isn't finding someone you can live with. It's finding someone you can't live without :heart2:0 -
Student on full loan and grant gets £500 a month. Take out rent and students are living on £250 a month (or less) and find themselves down the pub a lot
P.S. There is a Budgeting forum.0 -
