Just done some sums;
Working;
£318 rent
£60 travel
£40 gas and electric (being tight on using gas)
£38 water
£100 food
£14 phone
£25 internet
£50 council tax
£645 a month, can only afford this if I defo do lots of hours, very rare. If low hours, I’m fecked.
Not working, I can take off the travel and the council tax goes down to around £13 I think when I wasn’t working at all, so that comes to... £548... which even on my lowest income, is just under my lowest payment, which I can just about live on...
Almost £100 worse off working.
