Average weekly spend £483 ??

After tax....not any more.

But I really can believe that figure. Which kind of explains why those payday loan companies are so popular.

If you look at rent or mortgage at about £500 a month, that's instantly £125 a week. Then gas and elec and council tax, and road tax, and insurance for house, car, life, medical, and then petrol/diesel.....it quickly adds up. I was going through about £120-£150 a week on diesel, but that was on business expenses. The wife is going through £100 a week, at least, but that's also business expenses. So if you add just diesel and rent, that's £125 (rent a week)+£100 (her fuel a week)+£120 (my fuel a week) that's a nice big £345.00 Add to that our weekly shop of around £70 (being a vegetarian is damn expensive, and healthy food costs LOADS now!!!) that makes it up to at least £415

I definitely see the £483 as possible. If we didn't get the fuel allowance in our jobs, we'd be totally screwed.
