Below is a list of our outgoings and we are always in the red it seems. Everything is PER MONTH. Do you all have similar outgoings?
Rent - £670 per month for a large 2 bed flat. Myself, hubby and 3 year old live here
Council Tax - £130 per month
Food/ bread/ milk etc/ shower gel/ toilet roll/ toothpaste etc for family - £200 a month
Internet and phone line (hubby needs both for his work) - £25
Gas - £70 pay as you go metre
Electric- £50 pay as you go metre
Water and Sewage - £60
TV lisense - £12
Council tax debt owed - £100 (ongoing per month, we owe a lot long story)
Nursery fees - £60
Car insurance and petrol - £70
Home insurance - £10
various debts - £20
I can't see anyway to cut down on anything apart from car really but hubby needs a car for his work. My wages are 800 per month and child benefit is the only benefit I recieve. Hubby is now on 800 per month. You? Being nosey/ curious!
