How much money do you have left over each month?

January 16, 2010 11:43am CST
I am trying to work myself out of debt and have set myself a target in the next months to clear off 2 of my credit cards and also reduce debt on another card. I also have several other monthly bills that I can get rid of. All in all this will give me another £150 I reckon in my bank account at the end of each month. Currently I have around £100 left in account each month. Im 28 and am just completing my teacher training so my wage will begib to increase over the next few years. Beacause of my age I am starting to think about my future a lot more, pension, kids and want money to provide for them and my girlfriend. With that in mind how much money do you have left over each month to live on?

Hi! Over each month I have enough money left, because I don't like spend money for some foolish things like new clothes every week or new perfumes, because the old one doesn't like me any more. I spend the most of my money for food- food is my passion. I like to eat, well I am not so stout, but I feel good and don't make any diets! I also spend some of my money for entertainments like playing tennis or swimming, but I think it is better than buy some new t-shirt or shoes!

Im not able to spend money on shoes or clothes either just the basics to get me by each month. I want to get a pension soon but cant afford one at minute want to soon so any ideas of how much the average joe has left would be of help. Im looking for some guidance on what I need to do and where I need to get too.
