Fon Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 We need to take out rent or mortgage when posting your answer. So were just talking about food, bills, debts etc...? For me the wife and two kids, excluding mortgage we burn through about £1300 a month! Whats your spend? Fon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz2905 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Is this just basic living expenses or should it include what i spend on clothes, crap i buy on the internet, eating out and stuff like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopeydog Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Roughly about a grand a month for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fon Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yea, everything you guys spend. Basically if you have a joint account, how much do you put in excluding rent? Fon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz2905 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 In that case i would say over £2000 a month for me and the mrs. We both spend quite a bit on internet shopping. I'm trying to curb my spending but it's damn hard there's just so much stuff i never knew i needed and just a couple of clicks away. The other half spends a lot on clothes, i spend less but when i do buy i buy quality and it lasts. I'm going for over £2000 a month because i'm always buying stuff for the house as well. We don't have a joint account but i know i spend over a grand a month and the mrs maybe a bit more. Looking at the few other posts i realise i should probably be spending less and saving more. Also there's holidays, i've not included that and i don't think you guys have either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Fluffy Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 As my wife looks after the kids and house we only have one income, so probably about £1200. Mostly food, bills, credit cards, fuel etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOne Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 My childcare costs alone are £1200 per month. He starts school this year though. So at the moment about 3k going down to 2k when the childcare finishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
