How Much Do You Live on a Month?

coco_lola

After rent/mortgage, bills (assuming this incorporates gas, electricity, loans, phone bill etc.), how much do you live on in a month?

I would do a poll but I wouldn't even know what values to add in!

Me, I live on about 800 a month. Petrol costs quite a bit, and I'm really lazy when it comes to making my lunch, I always end up buying it.

krudler

up until a few weeks ago, less than 800 a month as well after rent. moved in with friends now, woop,moar money! I was living on less than 50 quid a week at one stage after bills, would have been better off on the dole, ah well.

If I worked it out it'd scare me so I never bother.

There's normally a minus in front of the numbers in my money box though.

kjl

About 3k a month, but I put 2 into savings.

Grant is about €350 p/m plus €150 from the student assistance fund €220 for rent, bills are variable (it still being freezing cold in April not helping in that regard) so €280 - whatever the bills are. Finished college in May though so should be better off once I get a jo....what?

Mr Benevolent

After everything (rent, food, elec, car, drugs, alcohol, eating out etc etc), about €600.

antodeco

I'm surviving on €400 a month. All my food has to come out of it, as well as my daughters.

Edit: If I take away food, I'm left with about €200. I still have to pay for petrol, and any other luxuries (ie a few drinks). In reality, I'm left with roughly €50 a month

I would say about 400 a month.

Anywhere between 1300 and 2000 depending on where I'm working in the country

Definitely answered this before, but the thread was different somehow...
Can't be bothered searching.

€633 was my answer though, I remember that much.

That's probably why I started the thread, couldn't find the other one

HalloweenJack

After rent, about €200, though I live in the Czech Republic and it's a lot cheaper here.

Pottler

Yeah, about €800 a month, on fags and coffee. I am a profligate cnut.

Owryan

After bills , petrol n rent but before shopping €160 a month :-(

tatabubbly

About I'd say after rent €268! That has to pay sky, food bills, travel and everything else.

It's not a lot and it doesn't really stretch.
But even though I'm poor, I'm rich in love and health!

Tax for a motorbike is €76 for a year, my insurance is €270. I spend about €20 a week on petrol, €70 every two weeks for food and one night out a week at about €40. I also work at the Aviva stadium so that is an extra €80 any time there is a match or concert there (works out about once every 6 weeks on average) that I forgot to include in my earlier calculations.

MissRetro

392.. between two and that's before buying food and not even including phone credit or our miserable little bunny ears, but, I've been worse off and there are a hell of a lot of people still worse off so you can't really complain once there's food on the table (and a table to put it on)..

.. wow, I'm never usually this 'glass half full'!

After rent and bills, bout €1300. You think you've got plenty money though, until stuff like 'root canals' and 'crowns' start working their way into the equation. This is unfortunate, as my latest lavish, unnecessary project has to be put on hold....

'Root canals' - well la-de-da.

Extractions are all I've had since 2007.

If this keeps up, I'll have a set of teeth like Ma Clampett.

Oh this is surly the saddest post ever.

Before bills, average of €1100 a month.

After bills, averaging out insurance, tax, phone, internet, eflow (living at home, that's all I really have to pay) I'd have about €800 disposable to me per month, not including petrol which would be around €200 a month at this stage.

Actually, hadn't been to the dentist since 2004. So that's quite a stretch. Turns out I'm relatively OK, but the dentist showed me the X-rays which show I have un-usually high spiking nerves, sharp v's as opposed to the usual u shaped roots......which means, rather than fillings, there's a chance I'll need root canals. Which sucks balls.

You forgot to mention the once a month treat for your parents to a nice restaurant!;)

After rent and bills, about $2900 a month left over for whatever I want. No insurance or tax to pay. Save maybe $2000 or a bit more but that's living a ridiculous lifestyle. I should be saving about $2700 if I didn't live in my new house and sometimes cooked but it's more fun not to.

Very interesting to note the posters who thanked this post.

Anyway, I assume you meant to type "I've never found this funny" rather than dictate to others what is or isn't funny? :cool:
