£107 a week will pay for all that.

Surely the average mortgage is around £500 per month, maybe more?
£200 c tax
£200 gas and leccy
Water £40
Tv bb phone £80
Insurance etc 100
Food £4-500

Guess getting mortgage free is the big one, fancy mobiles like do u need one? Gym subs etc, clothes, cars, eating and drinking out, holidays are all luxuries that change per person, some do none some seem to blow it all every month whatever they earn.
A guy I know, good job, £70k, buys big house in Cyncoed, cars, 2 grand mountain bikes, kids, can't even pay his own tax bill, goes back to daddy fir it....I find this bizarre the need to blow it all....
