excluding mortgage or rents. whats some running at (not inc food) just running a car costs a bomb. 305 a year ****ing car tax. robbing ****s. fire away.
Mobile phone Child support Dog food and groomers Gym Broadband, Phone and TV Hair cut New clothes Other stuff I can't mention on here.
Tell me about it. Phone - £40 Child Support - £150 Dog food and Groomers - £100 Gym - £25 Broadband, Phone and TV - about £75 Hair cut - £15 New clothes - £200 on average Then I have to think about eating, paying the mortgage and taking the bairn out on the weekends.
100 quid for dog. i take it thats a year. but still. then there is leccy and and gas. ffs, you dont drive aswell?
£100 month for the dog. I spend £40 on grooming and £60 on her food and treats. You've seen the size of the ****er.
I don't have a lass to take out like most lads do, so I save money there. Skye is my best mate, I'd give her my last and I don't mind spending on her.
Fair one mae, hers me moaning about car insurance, Although ive been price searching tonight about different cars.
Tip for you mate. The comparison sites use algorithms that seek to try and squeeze a bit more out of you if you get a price and then go back. So either use a different device or clear all your cookies before going back to make your choice. Same goes for holidays, flights etc
Yeah I didn't realise that about flights until recently. Apparently if you keep going back and checking the same flights, the algorithm starts to bump the price, ****ers. What I do now is get a price, then go to the airline direct, check the two prices on the websites and then ring the ****ers to see if they can get it down even more, which they usually do. Booked a flight to Vancouver next May, quoted £479 online through a compare site, went direct to Air Transat and got it for £339. Obvs you need to be flexible about which day and times you're prepared to fly.
Anyway, I try and keep my monthly outgoings to a minimum. My mortgage is fairly small. I don't have a fancy lifestyle, nor do I crave one. Don't subscribe to any TV packages other than Netflix which is £5.99 pcm. The outdoors is my Gym. I own my car outright. Don't use credit cards. I buy my food locally which probably costs more than the supermarket, but I buy fresh when I need it rather than doing some stupid money shop on stuff I don't need. I don't smoke. I buy most of my clothes 2nd hand from ebay. All in all I'm pretty much a Pikey. The missus likes new clothes and fancy treats, she's worth it so that's fine. My daughter seems to have developed the magpie syndrome too and loves to shop. I usually cave in when she wants something, which at the moment with her being 4 doesn't amount to much, but I realise I'm making a rod for my own back and it will soon be phones, tablets, and expensive **** rather than My Little Pony stuff. The things I have no qualms about spending on is travel, or eating out at a quality restaurant. (and my bike)
I reckon I've got about £2,000 of DD's every month. That's before my Mrs goes and spends 5 million quid on the baby every day. £45 for life assurance just in case Monty ever finds me and runs me over.
Road tax was £479 last year I think. No idea what it is this year the robbing bastards! Edit: half that this year!
Yeah but I'll be fine as my car was made in 2014. It'll only effect new models made after the change date
