I don't care about anybody except my money... :(

Hi Guys,

I'm regretting the decisions I made earlier in Life. I'm 20yo and I was a straight-A student at A-level and then everything changed when I went to university, I did a degree I hated and just partied and ****ed around tbh.
I left university after the first year and some how managed to find a job where I earn about £1500-1600 after tax.

I realised that I didn't care about anybody except myself and trying to live a nice lifestyle. I have not spoken to my family in over a year! Though I keep a nice few friends.

I live a playboy lifestyle you could say..I rent out a 1-bed studio/apartment in the City of Manchester at Beethem Tower - http://www.beethamtower.org/manchester/beetham-tower-manchester.html. This costs me around £900pcm including all bills, then I drive a Audi TT which is on lease at about £250pcm, then I have other costs like food, partying, enjoyment which comes to about £250pcm!
I'm usually left with about £50-100 at most pcm.

I just feel like a failure, I have no real savings, I'm turning 21 soon! People think I'm rich when I'm really not, I don't know long the life I'm living can go on for. I have no real exit opportunities available either.

To be honest I just feel like a waste. I had about £10k savings which I lost at the casino over a year period. Though thank god I have no debt.

I was just really seeking for some advice..

Sort yourself out.

Stop going to the casino... this is fine for an occasional night out but not for you to blow all your saving on.
Get rid of the Audi and get yourself something cheaper.
Cut down on your partying, this isn't essential.
Get in contact with your family and try to make amends.
That'll get things moving in the way you want them to, if you really want to change...
