What are your monthly outgoings?

[bucksoutcast]

The usual mate, a woman!
Been here 17 years now. It's not too bad.

There are definitely worse places

 

[HANDSOME_DAN]

Fuck me - I need to retire to the NE.

give ower man.....do you really think that the people with these low outgoings have anywhere near your material quality of life or earning potential? caveat unless they may be retired/inherited money etc and have paid the lot off.

 

[TopCat]

To go with the debt thread...how much do you pay out every month?

I pay £660 for everything then food on top.

About £2000 before food and petrol

 

[Mackem00]

You live down south I'm guessing?
I get wound up when people talk about getting extensions built for like £30k! Ours just cost £140k so far and we've still not built a kitchen or bathroom!

You should just pay a northeastern company to travel over and do yours mate.

There's so much paperwork and beaurocracy that put me off. Also putting them up could be a problem. I know a few people who've done similar with polish labourers.

Around 475/500, 420 for house, bills, etc. Missus does the weekly shop I give her half of that and petrol for the car probs has it around the 500 mark. Not too bad

 

[LuckyMascot]

£2100 on bills.
Food and petrol on top

About £2,500 a month on wine, women, gambling and holidays - the rest I waste

 

[Red N White Baron]

£1460 for bills. Worked this out last week, as Mrs Baron has decided I'm asking her to pay too much. I pay all bills, she buys food, roughly £100 per week.
She genuinely has a cob on about it

 

[Edinburgh Black Cat]

Exactly. You dont understand. Income and expenses isnt the same as cash out goings. Much more to it

A full cash flow reconciliation would suffice if it made it easier for you

 

[Vinny the Mackem]

Who cares?

 

[Ready salted]

Roughly £1000

Slightly less than this^^^^^^^

About £2,500 a month on wine, women, gambling and holidays - the rest I waste

Ok George. Well done.

 

[The Ghost of ORR]

Around £1,350 but that's with us overpaying the mortgage. Could be nearer £1,100 if we weren't overpaying.

That figure includes mortgage, council tax, utilities, sky, food, insurance(s), tv license etc.

Living at home with an income of around £1250.

Food - £280 (family)

[Nookie Bear]

About £1200 between us fixed outgoings before food and fun

 

[JHmackem]
