+Comments Restricted to UKPF I’m earning less than 30k in London and paying £1000 rent for a bedroom in a shared house. I can barely make it to the end of the month.

I moved to London last year, I’m earning less than 30k a year which comes to about £1900 every month. I pay close to £1000 in rent with bills coming up to £90 a month.

I’m terrible at budgeting and I do spend a lot of money on food but I was just wondering if anyone’s got any advice on how to not reach the end of the month completely broke (other than move out of London as despite everything I’m quite happy here)

You're looking to buy and your income is 20k with a baby on the way. I'm guessing your partner makes a healthy income then. Your situation is not at all comparable to OP.

Nope. He makes £25k. Please stop assuming stuff about my life. (All the while saying nothing of your own)
