Comment	I'll give a totally unhelpful set of figures. My first expense every week is my taxi. It's £300 per week for all running costs and fuel. I go out and make 150 on a Friday, 150 on Saturday to cover that. Next up is the house costs. Rent, council tax, electricity, internet, comes to 600 per month. Dividing equally between me and partner, we put 300 each in, which is 75 per week. On a Sunday I make 120 (sometimes more, but most weeks I stop at 120). Take 75 from that for the house kitty, I'm left with a balance of £45. I don't usually work Mon or Tuesday, so make the rest of my disposable income on Weds and Thur. Target of 100 for both days leaves me with around £240-245 per week after paying all the bills that need paid. I'm not sure how much we spend on food exactly. We do a "weekly shop" which usually comes in at around £80 to £90. We split this again 50/50, so it costs each of us 40-45 per week on food in the fridge and cupboards, and all the other stuff like toilet roll, laundry stuff, whatever. From the 200 I have left about another 50 goes to the vape shop for a weeks supply of oils and coils, plus a wee bottle of drink for my Monday night off. Around £150 leftover each week after all costs and bills. It's with this money I will buy my cups of coffee, my bacon rolls, my curry on a monday, whatever. I try and save 50 per week, but sometimes I fuck it, so its more an annual target of 2500. My wife does the same, giving us 5000 a year for the holiday, decorating costs and for repairing or replacing appliances that break down.
