    Pay car insurance annually to save on interest.
    Less on clothes/entertainment. Or use your credit card to pay for clothes/entertainment and kill two birds with one stone, then no need to spend an extra £100.
    When your contract runs out switch to a SIM only deal. Mine is £15.99 a month. I've stuck with my iPhone 5s as its plenty good enough.

    As others have said you don't necessarily need to make cutbacks, I'm only suggesting some because you asked.
    What will your verse be?

    Just to go against the flow, I think that you should pay rather more than you currently do for your keep. Paying less than 20% of your take home money is really taking the pee.

    You're 25 and STILL living with your parents. That should be more than enough motivation to cut back and save more...
