...how do you live on that? Is that pre or post tax?

I guess you save a bit living with your parents.

It's shocking mate, I save a bit in the sense that I fork out £300 to live at home, thats it. The rest is for me. Car stuff, phone bills, the usual shite. But it's not a good wage, i couldn't move out on it witohut struggling a lot and I would only have the option to rent as well. They made out like it was some decent wage they were giving me lol. I've seen similar jobs that are £20-25k to do the same thing. One was in Bournemouth though and I don't think I would have the balls to move away on my own. Would be nice to have a clean start mind lol.

Yeah I am gonna be paying £320 to live at home but that covers everything (sort of). Because I buy my own food and shit all the time. But most of my money just goes on weekends and going out to be honest. Too many curries.... 8)

No it covers everything, i just dont like their shit food. Chips and something one night followed by chips and something another night. I like proper meat for a start (not birds eye rbeadcrumb shit etc) and then curry type dishes or proper potatoes. Not fucking chips..... Although we all like some chips or pizza or something from time to time...

I get all washing and ironing done everything like that. Pack up if i want it etc etc. I used to pay £220 but its going up to £320 next month mostly because i keep getting them to spend extra on buying me decent food. So really, its not that bad.
