Total = £621.09

That just the Basics most people will have to pay
Thats more than i earnt last month, and i did nearly 40hours a week

Starting to see why so many stay on benifits rather than work, my job isnt what i would describe as difficult but i do work hard and sometimes long hours (over 60hours this week). When i do get paid (low pay £4.77ph) the tax man walks away with a HUGE chunk of what should be mine.

TBH life is too expensive, and its not as if i spend my money on luxuries, id say probably the only luxuries i pay for are my internet (£7.50 a month), and the occaisonal new outfit, I really dont understand how people can be careless with money, I currently owe about £400 which im currently paying off very quickly, but i have learnt my lesson getting into debt sucks.

I now plan to spend the rest of my life debt free.
