To ask how much you have left after all outgoings apart from shopping?

I'm thinking of going for a new job but with one I have an interview for, I'd be left with around £240 per month and I'd need to get shopping out of that (food, cleaning products, toiletries). There's just me. I currently have £500 left at the end of outgoings and can afford the luxuries. I'm scared I'll miss the nicer things in life, but I'm so miserable and feel so taken for granted in my current role. Plus it's a current 2 hour commute, whereas this would be a 10 min bus journey or 30 min walk.

No idea.

Enough that I don’t ever really think and certainly don’t worry about it

Helpful!
