How much do you have left after bills.....

[wallawallabingbang]

Not incluing food, petrol, going out etc

tough one! per moth probably about £600

after bills/council tax/car insurance probably about £300 per month

must say both me and dh work over 45 hrs a week!

atm -£4.

Am studying Mr Micawber!

A whole lotta month and not enough money...

This month....minus nothing....oops. Roll on payday!

we currently have about £1000 between us after everything including food (£400) fuel (£100)but excluding any credit card payments (cleared down each month)

Dp and I have about a grand each but have to buy ffod out of that which is about £100 a week. This is in theory though as we are always broke , dp also ahs to work an extra half day a week to earn his half of our income to pay for doing up the house.

I think I must have missed off an expense as we are always broke and even i can't be that bad with money. will be back with the real figure

Minus this month here, as well.

well I have worked out where my money goes. My cat has just come in crying for food so has just dined on a plate of prawns!!!

frigging hell nikkim - what do you lot eat then if your cat gets prawns

I am a tad obsessive with food!! the prawns were buy one get one free and she only gets a handful a day. I got the cat from a sanctuary and that was what they fed her on there.

Our food bill is about £100 a week so don't think we are too extravagent.

about 650 per month... but that has to pay for food, petrol etc. seems quite alot when wrote down but not believe me lol!!! x

about £1500. but £500 of that is the kids disability money and they need a lot atm.

about 1200, but 500 of that is the kids disablity money. Also we are working hard to reduce our debts, and our bills are now about 700 a month, instead of the 1400 they were. After food, petrol etc, we have about 700 left.

A few coppers left in my purse!!!

not alot!

At the mo not alot matternity leave pay is crippling us we have lost £500.00 a mnth and I'm still getting smp !

you lot seem to have more left over each month than we have coming in each month

Left over for food petrol bus fares stickers newpapers choccy dps baccy school this that and the other...between 60 and 100 a week.

Money left over??? What does that mean?!! We seem to live on our overdraft. No idea where the money goes, as we have a good joint income, and certainly don't have an extravagent lifestyle. Oh, and dh is an accountant!

it sounds a lot, but when you have huge petrol costs, hospital appt, specialist clothes, food to buy, etc etc, i'm left with aout £200 a month for luxeries really.

what defines a luxury though? I would say off the top of my head we have about £60-80 per month for stuff that isn't crucial but that makes life nicer for us - and we both work full time . . .
