    Re: Top 3 things you spend money on?
    My top three expenses are:

    1) Housing - rent, bills, council tax
    2) Petrol and transport
    3) Food and household items

    Aside from these essentials, it's probably:

    1) Animal care (essential for the animals but not essential to have the animals)
    2) Entry into events and clubs (£40 a month or so)
    3) Phone bill (could have a cheap phone, opted for a smart phone)

    I rarely by clothes, DVDs, music or games. I don't drink much and don't buy gadgets.

    Food, rent and bills. Wondrously exciting, although I spend similar amounts on cinema tickets a month to bills.

    1. Car (paying it off, petrol, insurance, tax, parking etc...in that order)
    2. Rent (plus bills)
    3. Food (I can't believe I spend an average of £230 a month on this when I get lunch free at work! Must stop eating out so much!)
