Gas and electric £96
Water £37 paid over 8 months
TV licence £12
Internet / TV £52
Netflix and prime £14
We also have buildings and content insurance but if you rent you should only need contents insurance.
You will need to factor in food, your rent and any car costs you may have.

My pet food I buy a 10/12kg bag probably 6 months per pet so doesn't seem as much although it's probably about £30 a month for 3 pets. Bit less at the moment as my dogs food is £33 for a big bag that lasts months but I think I'll have to change him soon as he is putting weight on since being neutered.
At the moment I'm also putting away £200 roughly for holidays for next year. Plus around £400 a month for another holiday but I'm not really counting that as it's overtime pay that I'm doing specifically to pay for that holiday. Also around £250-300 on the credit card. Around £250 roughly for food

Does help having a nice holiday to look forward too,we really want to go to Florida Disney in 3 years but can’t see how I can save extra given the current rise in prices on everything.

Yeah definitely I've picked up enough shifts to hopefully pay for one holiday I'd just need spending money and I have two others planned as well but paying monthly for them so it's around £120 a month for them. But I do try and do less in my time off so I can go on holidays rather than having more days out

£350 into savings
£270 mortgage (I inherited the house and bought a sibling out via mortgage)
£130 council tax
£130 pet insurance
£130 gas/electric (including charging the car)
£40 mobile
£34 tv + broadband
Roughly £100 on food - me and 3 cats
Water - Around £25
TV Licence - paid yearly
Car insurance + home insurance - Unsure off the top of my head, I pay it annually out of savings in February.

I don't have Netflix/Prime/etc.

Work 1 40hr minimum wage job, and pick up as many bar shifts as I can at my local around my main job shifts. Not much but gets a little bit of extra which I'm currently using to pay for therapy.

Seeing the prices people were paying in 2020 for gas and electric is truly heartbreaking lol

 

[Former_Antelopee]

It's water I've noticed go up more than electricity/gas maybe as I used to pay more when I originally got my house for gas/electricity so my payments come down but I don't have much in my credit on the account like I used to

 

[Former_Antelopee]

Do you all fix your energy prices? I've always used the variable one but not sure whether to fix
