Saw someone else do a table and it looked neat!
Here are my expenses at the moment. I rent a studio-style flat (in the sense that the bedroom is the living room, but we have a full kitchen and bathroom) that is walking distance to my place of work. I live with my fianceé, so we are a family of two adults only. This is everything I track, combined for us both.
| Category | Annual Expenditure |
|---|---|
| Food and household (Groceries, washing up liquid, toothpaste etc) | £1,450 |
| Water | £480 |
| Electricity | £420 |
| Council tax (Property tax here in the UK) | £1,200 |
| Internet services | £400 |
| TV Licence (Because the UK is mental) | £150 |
| Gym fees | £300 |
| Mobile phone costs | £120 |
| Contact lenses (for her) | £168 |
| Spending money (we get £100 each discretionary) | £2,400 |
| Rent (soon to be mortgage!) | £5,964 |
| TOTAL | £13,052 |
When we move we will need to factor in travel which will be £100 a month or £1,200 a year and our mortgage will be slightly more than that rent, but I like to think we're fairly frugal. I actually run a blog about keeping costs low etc if you're feeling inspired to cut costs!
