How much save
Options

My now team leader picks up around £1760 a month
His outgoings:
£500pm fixed rate mortgage
Council tax
Electricity and Gas bill £400 all together that's what he said
So £900 automatically goes
Car insurance, I assume £60pm, 07 plate
Petrol, he doesn't drive far to work £120pm
Food, £160pm, he eats a lot
£340 out
£520 left
Building and contents insurance (my dad pays around £360 per year for a detached three bedroom house) £30pm
Water bill £40pm
TV licence £10pm
Entertainment
Mobile phone £24pm
Internet £15pm
He plays football every sat evening
£429 left
He does go on a big holiday per year
He has a young child now
His partner does obtain child benefit
How much do you think he saves per month
£300

Impossible to say from that.
Lots of assumptions over spending, an unknown holiday cost, a partner with unknown income or outgoings, and unknown debt between them.
Could be saving a few hundred or it could be a negative figure.0 -
Why do you know so much about your team leader’s finances and spending and how much he saves!?8

Perhaps they live together like Eric and Ernie.3

What is the prize and how many guesses do we get?0

What's it got to do with you how much he spends/saves?

Was it perhaps meant to elicit responses of 'wow, how does he manage to save so much' or 'wow, how does he manage to save so little'?
Why should anyone (including you) care?0 -
The wife likely buys the food etc so he has nothing else to pay for.0

The OP has asked a virtually identical question previously about another “friend” and in another he tells us how much his team leader saves, in yet another he’s asking if his team leader can charge him for a missed first aid course. There’s definitely a strange level of interest in this individual.I get really irritated by these “asking for a friend” posts.1

How come you know so much about your team leader’s finances?
such a bizarre post.
the most I know about my team leader’s finances is that there is more month left than money!0 -
