As in there are 2 other adults in my house.
All the debt is mine, no one else’s. Then it isn't relevant that there are two adults and a child as they don't affect your spending it seems
Yes, 108 is all I pay for food, 25 a week, I contribute.
And entertainment…..as in going out drinking? It varies….maybe once a month…maybe twice a month…..
Meals with friends varies….could be once a month…all depends
If you go out drinking once or twice that means you should budget 30-50 for it.
Luckily the old phone debt should be shifted in May and then you can put that towards the next highest interest debt too. I would put the extra 150 towards the loan as it will save you more money in interest you have to pay.
You will get therefinally tea total but in still in (more) debt (Oct 25 CC £1800, loan £6453, mortgage £59,924/158,000)0 -
You owe £6100 - make January a stay at home month but give yourself one evening out at £30.
Record every last penny you spend during the month and pay off a bit of your loan with what you have left over.Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill0 -
I'd also keep a spending diary... most of us spend more than we realise or want to admit.
SOA is a great snapshot but spending diaries are comprehensive real time movies

what are these?
spending half your salary on rent (inc bills) is never going to leave much room for flexing. Have you addressed whatever caused the CC debt and phone contract backlog to occur.
