    Lol, can't blame you to think we are the same person. But no, colsten is my partner and soulmate. Had a glass too many last night when looking at MSE together. She is still comatose....

    Ah, the dream is over.

    Gutted.
  • I reckon I have about 60% - 75% of my take home pay left at the end of the month - after bills and doing stuff, and things.

    Which is nice.

    Hi all,

    I just wondered out of interest, how much money do you have left over each month after paying out for bills and essentials for 'fun' spending (clothes, socialising, treats etc...) ?

    Hi

    How much do you have left? Mines about £100.

  • None of your business!!

    what a strange and quite nasty post, i agree with summer, why even bother posting?

    I'd say i have half of my wage left, never spend it all so have a contingency fund and op on my mortgage
  • I move all my excess to savings, so technically, none :P
    Credit 'Score' - Don't buy the credit 'score' that Experian, Equifax and Noddle want to sell you. It's an arbitrary number that means nothing when it comes to applying for credit.

    ALWAYS HAVE A DIRECT DEBIT SET UP FOR THE MINIMUM PAYMENT ON YOUR CREDIT CARDS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU PLAN TO LOGIN AND PAY EACH MONTH.
  • An unexpected emergency is basically a nightmare when a person has no income left after essentials are dealt with. Luckily i still have some savings from when times were better but when they are gone then I am screwed as I cannot increase my income very much.
