| sir dooble:
About £8k. I'm on an alright wage, but not quite full time, only 27 hours but am trying for more. I have relatively few bills as I still live with my parents, but I pay 30% of my wages as rent, and I have a phone contract, Netflix, union membership and a couple other things. I don't spend much, and probably about 1/3rd of my monthly wage is saved. |
