    Roughly 40/60 between alcohol and food for me... luckily my parents pay my rent for me so I amn't taking that into consideration.

    I meant the split % wise between the two (40% vs. 60%) but now I realise I was lumping in taxis with the alcohol. With a proper breakdown it's:

    food/essentials - 50%
    drink - 25%
    taxi - 10%
    bus/luas - 10%
    broadband - 5%

    with the amount of buses i get, transport takes a lot of it. Although I'm definately going to get a monthly ticket of some sort.

    then food and drink i would spend the rest on.

    living at home, should be getting a grant as well so that covers fees.
