I am relatively poor - but not too close to the edge!

2 bedroom flat in zone 3, close to tube rent is £900 per month, which is an OK deal.

bills and council tax come to around £60 each per month

travel expenses are at least £20 a week if you commute any distance to work.

I spend £15-25 a week on food.

The biggest expense is booze. You can pay up to £4.50 but usually about £3 per pint.
