I had a random thought in the shower before, , a few mins earlier I had open my wage slip and though cool,
then I thought of all the money that just gets chucked into my bank,
I want for nothing but I dont have anything really,
spend around £40 - 50 on fuel bout 30 on drink and 40 to my mam n dad and thats it really
were does most of your money go?

Me and the missus between us earn average 1500 - 1800 net a month
Of which 700 - 800 goes on bills such as rent, council tax then food, diesel etc etc
The rest we spend on the odd chinese takeaway, we buy bits of furniture every month, i buy random stuff off the net and the rest of it goes towards our house deposit

Going Out
I spend a lot of money on fuel and travel. £70 alone this week on train and bus fairs
Renewed my car insurance last night, another £350.
I don't get paid enough, that's the problem.

I find the same problem. Whats worse is I look back on how much I've earnt in the last 12 months for example and how much of that I've spent, and I don't really know where all the money went

I really don't know what me and Adam spend our money on....
We earn a fair bit between us and it is all gone at the end of every month
We're still paying two mortgages at the moment though, which is a big outgoing

Save most of mine, pay for the apartment, buy gadgets, then send a few grand to Britain now and again to spend on the Rex.

£360 ish on bills.
£45 every month for hair.
then i have petrol, food/toiletries shopping, clothes (treat myself now and then!)
i find it hard to just spend my money on one big thing, you never know what you got coming up that month tbh, like last month my Nephew was born, so i spent lots of money on him. This month ive been able to buy myself a few random bits. Next month i need the car serviced and need to pay for my Flights for holiday.
im quite glad my car insurance and loan payments finish in Oct. although my car insurance starts in Janurary so still need to save over xmas!

£2 hot dog, x5 days a week = £10 x 49 weeks out of the year = £490 on hot dogs just for your 'snap'
its like those who buy a 'starbucks or costa' coffee every day at £1.50
times that by every day you buy it.
what a waste of money
