Beat me to it

It's hard to say as it depends on what stage you are in life, if you're young it can be done pretty cheaply, add a kid / cars / nursery / pets it gets nuts

I pay £700 Inc bills, and then spend about £30 a week on food and household stuff

Schizo · 29 Jul 2018 at 18:50

I've never worked it out but it must be about £500 all in.

You have a point, the restrictions on alcohol consumption by those party poopers at the Scottish executive are grim , horrendous alcohol prices and a lower Drink Drive
limit make one think of decamping across the border to our Tyneside buddies [ who think they are English but aren't really ]

You have to pay for water ?

Pffft,

I don't think we Scots can thank you Eeeenglish muppets enough for paying for our
free water, free prescriptions, free bridge tolls, free care for the elderly and free Uni tuition fees.

If we didn't do that you'd all live down here instead.

Mortgage: £1100
Council Tax: £240
Gas/Elec: £95
Water: £40
BT Ultrafast 2: £59.99
£1535 total.

One day we might get total bills under £1000

Showers in college for all students use? We don't have any similar thing in my country... sounds really cool

where are you from? yeah some colleges have showers some dont..

The wife & I pay £130pm each into a joint bills account where all the regular household direct debits come out of.
We've no mortgage as house is paid for, so our biggest monthly expense is council tax.

Other than that, sky/BB is £110pm & food is £250pm.

My personal total outgoings per month are around £380-£400

~£130pcm covers our electric, water, landline phone plus fibre broadband. No gas connection, E7 storage heaters used typically Dec-Mar.

~£300 "all-in" sounds way too steep OP, for a student who doesn't currently need to pay Council Tax.

Probably in excess of £50k monthly depending on how extravagant I am.

What has bills got to do with extravagance. They’re regular monthly bills. What the hell would you spend over 50k on, or is this another figment of your imagination, like your LaFerrari?

Lavish parties, expensive catering, totally different class. Frequent travelling. Simples. Lifestyles of the rich and ~~famous.~~

None of which are bills.

For someone so rich, you’re not too smart.

Humdy beards.

God bless you though needing to upsell yourself via trolling. Have a good day

For us, it's around £500 a month.

Either trolling or very pretentious to brag about money like that. Not exactly humble even if true.

I wondered when this obvious troll would up the level after not getting a reaction sooner.
