£100 Personal Budget for 2010

10 January 2010

Below is the breakdown of my monthly £100 personal budget for 2010

Mobile Phone: £5
I'm not a gadget person so having to give back my work Blackberry and go back to using an old mobile I had in a drawer has not been a problem. I got a free sim card from Orange and topped it with £10 of credit, which I'm going to make last me as long as possible.

Transport:£15
I don't have access to a car during the day time any more so this will be bus or train fares if I really need to go anywhere, which I'm trying not to do.

Clothes: £20
I didn't buy any new clothes in 2009 and I would really like to buy some new jeans and underwear in the next couple of months.

Sponsor: £18
I sponsor a little girl in Bangladesh through World Vision; this is £18 a month and the only set amount.

Savings: £22
I would like to save a small amount.

Fun: £20
Coffee, books, stationary.

Seems a very sensible budget... I have the same each month as well, but don't break it down like you... it's more when it's gone, it's gone type of thing.

Hope you are well and enjoying some down time!

A time will come when you want to get out and about although that probably isn't now with this rotten weather! You can have a great time finding free stuff, maybe plan a (groan) staycation? Cheers, good luck on the next part of your journey! Lynda
