Help with cost of living

This may seen obvious but I'll say it anyway..

Ensure you deffo have enough money before you move out. Budget everything for what it would be worst case (most expensive) so that way you know you won't be in a f*ck I can't afford council tax this month situation. Try make sure you have spare money that you can save for a rainy day e.g. car breaks down. If you have a credit card or any debts your paying off, make sure you can meet your minimum payments too. Look into things such as housing benefit and child tax credit etc if you feel you need to (not sure on how that all works as me and danny don't claim anything but if it helps you and need the extra money, if your entitled, do it!)

Me and Danny pay around 1400 a month for us so thats on
-rent 375
-insurance 150
-council tax 100
-electric about 30 (on a coin meter ha!)
-fuel about 150
-phone bills (mobile and house) 60ish
-tv license paid monthly 12
-food about 30 a week

Just a rough guide for what we pay for. you may also pay for bank accounts, pets if you have any, car tax every 6 months etc so just keep in mind the little things too!

sorry for the long reply but I hope that helps (:
