Insane outgoing

[electricfried]

Hi,
I have spent a bit of time today going through our finances. I haven't done it for a while but like to try and keep on top of things. I calculated our essential outgoings today and I am shocked.....
When I add up all of our essential outgoings/bills it comes to £3600 per month!!
This seems insane. Does anyone else have outgoings like this?

my essential bills and council tax are a fraction

I'm looking at under £600 per month and that includes prime, gym membership.

I own my own car outright and running costs are small

but I don't have rent or mortgage or nursery fees
