Depends on too many varying factors which you have no control over:
Council tax - could be �60 to well over �100
Gas and electric - same
House insurance - depends where you live
You can control the rest
Phone - who knows? I don't have a land line, and my PAYG phone costs less than �3 a year
Clothing - are you a charity shop, New Look or designer shopper?

Hi Pasta xx
How's doing?
Firstly with rent only included based on flat or house share.
Can be so varied depending on size of mortgage/rent and utilities etc, but i would say a single person can get by on �150-�220 a week, if they didnt have the extra expense of a car, too expensive tastes like socialising MOST nights,top class nosh and drink, clothes etc AND if renting a flat or house sharing with at least 3 others..........people with a mortgage ....depends on amount borrowed and monthly payment ....as very good deals from lenders now due to recession and interest rate low.
No cable/sky complete packages either, as pricey! just freeview
�80-�100 off that if no rent paid per week.
SO between �70-�140 to spend on yourself.......varied yes....but you need to enjoy yourself once in a while too...agreed? otherwise madness sets in!
