peteroughton169 - Memberi have about 1500 left a month after all the bills. still feel skint cos i never see it as it goes into the joint account and doesnt get used. builds up in case i end up on standby at work over the winter.. i get paid 39 hrs a week on basic for that which just to say covers bills. any thats left at the end of standby goes into a savings account. if i need owt, i go n get it
Got any jobs going Pete 
If I cut my spending back to just my expenses, then I'd say I'm lucky enough to have more than £250 a week spare. But I have a (by national average standards) well paying job.
I'd say having a thousand a month as your own (i.e. spending) money is pretty good. If you aren't well paid (by nat ave standards), then you must be a baby boomer with a tiddly mortgage.
whats a baby boomer ?
ski, jobs are going but i wouldnt advise it! ime trying hard to find another job as the lifestyle is affecting me personally since i became a dad last year for the first time. ime looking at taking a 1500 a month drop in wages and sorting out my bills in order to get home. at the end of the day money no longer makes me smile, the smile on my daughters face does and money cant buy that! time to change. plus ile be able to ride with me mates again instead of on me todd!
that looks like a complicated topic, does 1969 dob make me one of them
I wouldn't have a clue on a weekly basis, not even a monthly basis unless I went and worked it out.My expenditure is even every month. Some things (utilities) come out quarterly, some stuff annually (like insurances) and other stuff is one off (like having the car fixed). Some month's I'd have loads and others I'd be digging into the money I saved earlier.
hat looks like a complicated topic, does 1969 dob make me one of them
nah, that makes you a gen x kid
I have what you have a week every month if I am very lucky - i rarely am but cant complain
After bills + expenses, free to do what I like with, per week £300 to £350.
I'm currently paid £140 per day to teach.. no perm contract.. I spend on my bike.. I don't have a car.. my rent is £720 a month.
Before food and fuel I have about £400 a month spare. I do a lot of overtime to be able to pay for out of the ordinary things. Wife on maternity so her wage will be cut in half in a few months then nothing a few months after that.
In other news, if anyone is looking for a room to let in Leeds, let me know £280 a month all inclusive...
