How much will you be living on per week?

Considering I've got my student finance through saying how much money I'll be getting, decided to work out how much I'll be living on per week.

After accommodation and gym fees/supplements and clothes :biggrin:

, I have around £120 to spend per week for the first term.
Hopefully I can find a part-time job to get some extra.

I do eat a lot and cook my own food, I've budgeted £70 for food per week -might seem a lot but better to overbudget and I do rather like the finer things :wink:

This leaves me with £50 for going out/socialising/trips and what not. Considering I'm very social, I don't know whether £50 will be enough!

Also anyone else know how much they'll be living on?

£70 on food? You planning on stockpiling for a nuclear winter?

I really hope that's from your parents and not student finance!

Not going to this university, but wtf? :lolwut:

I'll have £70 a week on after accommodation and I consider myself very lucky. Means I'm not totally screwed if I can't find a job. :/

£70 is a lot of food for one person... but each to their own I suppose.
I think my downfall will be gigs... :/

Well from student finance I get after accommodation £416.00. My parents will be giving me £500 and as I'm well off and lucky with work I have got £1,500 per term of my personal money.

I will be spending around £700 on supplements, gym/health products and clothes which leaves me with around £120 per week.
Considering I've spent 6 months in a developing country, I know how to manage money, I'd just rather not.
Obviously I won't be going out of my way to spend that much every week but it'll give me comfort knowing it's there if I need it.

And I think maximum I'll be spending on food is around £50, Will try not to spend that £20 :smile:
