I spend close to 2 grand in a month

[Mr.Haggis]

Is this normal?

I spent my money on :

remittance to somalia: £500
Paid off my phone contract £ 500
Food: £200
Debt:,£100
Electricity and gas : £100
Gym: £60 (including joining fee)
security course:£200
Sister: £100
I’ve got like £200 left.

I don’t pay rent I live with my family.

200 for food is to much drag it down to 100.

You'll have 300 left which is enough to save.

it’s normal, unless you pay off your phone contract every month, join a gym every month, start a security course every month, then it’s abormal

how did you spend £200 on food when you live with family?

I used to be on a phone contract (£90 a month) there was an option to cancel my contract at a fee of £500

 

[Mr.Haggis]

how did you spend £200 on food when you live with family?

I don’t eat what my family eat. I’m on a special diet.

Since you paid off your phone contract that’d mean you’d have $700 of savings next month?
Try to increase your debt payments and pay off the ones with the highest interest first.

 

[NotMyL]

Well you paid off your phone and sent 500 back home, that’s not every month thing so you are fine. If you do however spend 2k every month when you are not paying rent and living with your parents, you got a problem.

my contract is supposed to end in September 2020. I had an iPhone X brand new in 2018 so I’m saving money now.

But you have an extra 500 each month from now on right?

 

[Dalmoor]

Those are rookie numbers lol

You guys should look into budgeting apps, I have YNAB which I really like, I hear Mint is also good.

Don't buy any food and eat with your family, what's your diet.

Great. Avoid that if you wanna live healthy life and don't wanna have some BP, obesity by the age of 40... most Somali foods are either too oily, salty or sweet...there's rarely in between

Fast metabolism is a blessing and a curse

Change this to 0 and you will have 700 for yourself.
