What's everyone's weekly budget?

lizzyvera

Just out of curiosity...

I've read that some people won't be able to afford to see the doctor now there are charges. I have about €50 a week after rent and I thought that was tight but I could definitely pay for the doctor if I was sick by cutting back for a week or two afterwards.

Are many people here living on less than €50 a week? How? I couldn't imagine not having any treats at all. Especially coffee.

I am on about 80 which when you start going out is nothing.

€40-€50 a week and then go out maybe once a month,it makes you cherish your nights out.Either that or ridiculously anti-social.:D

I've no job, but I do live in Dublin. So no rent or anything.

I only get 40 quid, of which at least 25 goes to petrol! And I usually spend the rest on lunch and the St Pats games on Fridays (Pub :pac:)

Ok, that's what I thought. I'm in final year now, and luckily when I was in earlier years and went out a lot, there were nitelinks on weeknights so no need for a taxi.

It's really hrash not having nitelinks. First year would not have been the same if I couldn't have gone out three times a week.

You still were missing out. Nitelink = €5. SU Nitelink = €2.
I remember I used to only spend €20 on a night out

Oh and I was on €120 a week. Definitely didn't need all that though.

About €5 a day for the bus. Might spend some money on food. No job.

An age waiting for the bus to arrive.

€50 a week with enough money to go out three or four times a week easily.
-Raid the presses at home at weekends. Food sorted.
-Few bottles of red wine at the house with a few friends each night before going out. Twisted for €5!
-Then a pint or two or a shot in the pub/club.
-Enough money left for one take-away a week after a long night.

Zero. Cycle in and cannot afford squat.

About 90 quid......cant get anywhere off it!!!

damselnat

Have about a hundred quid a month after bills and rent....seem to be getting on well so far, cupboards pre stocked by mother with enough pasta and noodles to last till China shuts down, cheap fruit and veg to bulk out diet, cheap cheap wine from Tesco and don't go out till late, walk and cycle everywhere, and still manage to have money to go to Bristol for a weekend and to the odd rugger match here and there! Utter madness, tbh I have no idea how I'm managing it without a job, how I manage to get such a pathetic budget to stretch so far but but I seem to, and quite well......did I mention I don't have a job? Mr Cowen?

My weekly budjet is about €40/week.

€15 for student rambler ticket.
€5 X 5 for lunch.

I need employment, I have no money for social life. Lucky however I am living in dublin, I have sympathy for the country folk who have to pay for accomadation on top of everything else.

I can't see how thats possible

How do you get home? Into clubs. Buses? Wine + 2 pints + transport + club = €25 at least...
