Billy SR Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Anywhere between 500-650 a monthNothing on my 3k insurance, my well off nan and grandad helped a fraction of the cost as I couldn't manage the whole lot. I paid off 1k and they called it quits.About 100 on petrol, potentially nothing if I do lifts for people!Not sure how I manage to spend the rest, but there's always at least one bill. This month it was car tax!Good old tesco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Woo at being 18 and on minimum wage!!130 goes on rent and that's about it as im sorted on the insurance front. I spend about 200 a month on living, like going out and fuel. 40 quid of fuel lasts me about a month. I put 500 into my savings every month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyR Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I'm LOADED!He really is, If you need some extra money PM him and he'll be glad to help you out! England is going through a financial crisis, you'll all be lucky to make £1000 a month unless you have a favourable job unfortunately.You can also thank immigrants for driving the wage down and employers for accepting them instead of British jobseekers. When they can pay someone £5 for doing the same job you want eg. £8, they will think of the cost. Until legislation comes in to prevent employers from paying petty wages to non-UK the bad times will continue.The best thing if you are after a better wage /lifestyle would be to search around for different jobs and be prepared to move locations. There's a reason why people in cities earn a good sum and the plentiful jobs available, however knock for knock they have to pay the highest charges for living.Myself, I live in the country and I wouln't even consider moving to a city just for a better wage packet. Although I'd love more, I'm not on a bad wage and country life is...cheap and fun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 as of this morning, i dont have a paying job hoping ill be back in work tomorrow though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shelly_star Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Insurance is getting higher because of amount of accidents in this country, and glanza/gt's are more known now so i think thats why they are expensive to insure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyR Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Insurance is getting higher because of amount of accidents in this country, and glanza/gt's are more known now so i think thats why they are expensive to insure.Insurers are always looking to make the most amount of money. So once people say move from an abundance of Saxo's or Corsa's, etc and move, to say Starlets and Golfs then they will determine that there is more risk involved with that particular car because there are so many people using it. It's not the sheer 'amount' of accident, but the risk involved. It's basically them saying we can charge this much because there are more people that will have a crash in that said car.They charge obsene amounts and incorrect anyway, for example most 17 y/o kids will be quoted £3000 for a £500 vauxhall corsa 1.0 , now how on earth do they get that figure? That with the cost of petrol puts a real downer on driving these days. I refuse to ever drive an electric car!! I'll become mad max and search for the last bit of fuel before that ever happens!

shelly_star Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 if you look at the roads nowadays, there are no kitted up boy racer cars anymore lol, they simple can just afford the insurance let alone modifications. As for petrol prices....... damn i remember when it was like 65p a litre. When i was on holiday in America, petrol is only £2-3 a gallon! LOL dunno how far the electric cars will go, but when this world runs out of petrol, back to horse and carriage i believe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
