You left out rent. Add $200 (which is cheap btw) and you have a whopping $50 left!
So, do I buy that $4 chewing gum to have minty fresh breath, or do I keep it to save for that emergency car repair that will cost at least $300?
Ever noticed all those small loan adverts lately? Tempting isn't it? H
Having been on benefits for over 12 months because of a medical problem, same benefits as able bodied bludgers, who I might ad get everything given to them, I speak from experience that you can live on ($700/fortnight/$350/week), but need to make sacrifices.
No steak dinners, car/no car depending on personal savings, no luxuries like beer and a bbq snag in bread on the weekend, dental visits etc. Oh, and that credit card, good luck with that one!
