Just wondering how much spending money you normaly have each month.

Thats after buying food , paying for gassoline and other living expenses.

 

In a bad month i have £85

In a normal month i have about £150

In a good month i have £255

 

So hows your cash status?

My cash status = about £300 overdrawn :sad:

 

That's what's supposed to happen when you're a student! At the end of my undergrad degree I was £2100 overdrawn. Great times.

We're kinda poor at the moment as I've finished at uni and am looking for a job so we pretty much just have enough money for food and diesel, after all the other bills are taken off.

I spend about £15 on food and commuting a week, fortunately I have a cheap bus company that sorts me out for £1 per day return.

 

I am skint and currently looking for a job, last year I was a cleaner for a few months which was quite pleasant, £5 an hour.. but they don't hire people back after they quit.

I have £60 in my account, bearing in mind I just paid off a bass and I only get £50 a month (£13ish a week, £8ish for food, £5ish for the weekend) I'm more well of then most of my friends. Althoguh, I really want a job, unfortuantly the only place that seems to hire 14 year olds is a pancake house that abusive pervs work in...

I get £75 every three months from my parents. But I still live at home so thats all for spending on what I want. I dont have a regular job anymore, up until May I made £10 extra a week for babysitting. I'm hardly babysitting at all anymore :(

 

I'm saving up for going skiing at the moment, I've got about £15, and I need to get £150 by April 1st...

wel im still in high school so this doesnt apply to me probably however, i get a tenner a wekek for food in school. i earn myself just under £20 a week, tenner for stocking up drinks, and my paperround which varies from week to week because of leaflets in i, usually in the £7-9 range. i know crap!

so in a month id have about £60 maybe, if im not paying something off to my parents.

Current regular outgoings = £0

Current income = £30 a week (providing I attend college everyday, EMA)

 

Although, I tend to blow a bit of it on CD's, tickets, and rarely even clothes.

 

Hopefully, I will go to Manchester Uni after college. There I can buy no new clothes. Sponge food from people and only buy when neccessary :P And if I ever venture out at night, Satans Hollow is down the road, good bands play there and drinks are cheap as shit (and taste it apparently :P). I won't drive, train station is like right there, and trains go to the station that I can almost see from my bedroom. I will have it all worked out. Yes indeed :P If I do get to go to Man Uni that is.

 

By which time I *should* have a nice 2Kish in the old bank account. And i'll be spending as little of it as possible, and filling it when I can. It will be my new drumkit when I finish uni :P

i am appalling at managing my money. im at college full time and i work friday, saturday and sunday every week for 20 hours. im on a pretty good wage so i end up with about £550 p/m, i got paid on 24th Feb and i now have under £80 left. i dont have any official outgoings other than my phone so i have no excuse, but i blame my parents haha. i should really be saving for uni, but my brain doesnt allow me to save.

:(

It all depends if i do some overtime or not..

 

After all bills paid (house keeping, phone, sky, internet, petrol etc etc) the money i have left is about £1,100 a month.

 

If i do some overtime it could be around: £1,300 - £2,000.

 

The most ive been in my Overdraft was £1,400 (Limit is £1,750) but i now generally stay out of it unless something crazy happens like car messes up, or i have to pay off a holiday etc.

 

Most of my money is spent on beer, women and sex...no no seriously its spent on beer, nights & days out with mates, going to lots of gigs, eating out, clothes, CD's, DVD's and some games. I save a couple hundred a month which i will get a new computer with soon but firstly i am going to New York on the 15th.

 

But of course when i was a student like a lot of you guys i was poor as hell and hardly had any money to spend on myself. If i decide to move out i will once again be poor and have no money for myself, so at the moment im staying put :)

That's what i do, sucks doesn't it, i usually get average 11 a week, plus 20 quid from mum/gran

yeah it sucks, ive not actually got near £9. the highest i think was £8.67 which i spent on two dvds with a tenner ahndy, its nothing for doing what i do. i know theyve worked it all out apparently, timing how long it takes to go round your area and giving you according to what the guy says, but we have to stick all that crappy leaflet sinto the papers first then lug it around. dont get paid for that do we! i still do it after about 4 weeks, because its a steady flow of income for my rev:D might sitck to it untill summer or something, then quit it becasue then i wil have my spain trip, then i want rest to start college and i couldnt be arsed doing the paper ound then.

Woot! My mums going to a teacher-training course after the summer, meaning at least 1 day a week (every school week :) ) I'll be looking after my 5 year old sister a £4 / hour :)

 

Also, I'm going to train to be a life-guard at the end of the summer holidays, it costs £150 to do but theres a guarenteed job at the end at the local sports centre which pays £7-8 an hour because its a qualified job :D

I earn about 50 euro (34 pounds) a week with my job at the bakery, half goes in my savings account, got about a thou euro in there atm. The other half I can keep and use as I please. On top of that I get 20 euro (13,7 pounds) per month from my parents. And an occasional fiver here and there from my grandparents or parents.

 

I don't have to pay any bills or anything yet, but whenever I go out or want to buy something, I pay for all of it.
