    100 a week after rent - 30-50 or so of that goes to food, and another 20 to materials for the course

    maybe he's a bit of a racer ;) Or on the opposing end, one of those people who travel at 40mph on second gear *shudder* ;)

    I'm definitely on budget, but I don't know how much.

    I'm on a great budget of about €280 a week, but I have to pay €2300 for fees.
    Also I have to work 25 - 30 hrs a week to get that, on top of college.
    My budget may have to shoot to €0 a week very soon:eek:

    I get my 20 quid from the parents a week for a bus ticket, generally dont go out during the week cos Im in early the next day, if I do it's usually for Cans in a gaf. Mite head out on a friday nite tho, but doin it cheap... so my budget would probably be around 30 quid a week.

    Usually bring in lunch everyday too

    250 a month, 75 on a bus ticket so that's 175 a month.. approx 44 a week, which is to go on food... Although I aim to actually spend 75 a month and save 100..... We'll see :P

    Sounds like your in a better position than most!:D

    it does? :confused:

    250 a month for everything really isn't all that much. Usually can't afford to go out at all.
