Help! trying to decrease monthly spend

Bob, I understand the bafflement, but can also see that for some it is utterly manadatory.
Given the difficulties though, I would take the SOA to my local faith leader & ask if I could do more hands on/giving of time & tithe less actual cash.
I'd definitely be looking for a different mobile & broadband package too.

I wonder if those people would still feel it mandatory, if their children were going hungry.

Yes. The church will provide there is no need for the kids to go hungry they can visit the church ask and the congregation will help by asking them around to their home to share a meal with them.

I'm not religious, but if the 10% is your help to the poor, i think you should remember you've come here to ask advice 'cos you're poor.
In stead of the money could you give something more valuable to your Church ......... you're time. Can you go there to help out more ?

Is taking home £363 a week considered poor these days? I thought it was quite a decent take home wage. (£1,950 a month) £450 a week gross is £12 an hour for 37.5 hours a week. Quite a reasonable wage in my opinion.
