    Cramped, loud, 1 1/2 bedroom expensive flat!

    Mortgage: £1000
    Agency managing fee: £400/Monthly
    Send to Phils: £300/monthly
    Food £100 a week
    Bills, insurance...

    These are only few reasons why we can't travel and have a Social life as a family of 4....

    Thinking of moving....not happy anymore....
    we all have to budget, even those who have a little extra cash its becoming harder to live, shop wisely, live within your means even if this means moving house, reduced what you send to the phils and what is the £400 fee for

    No reply yet. ... maybe she runs/owns a small [? personnel recruitment] agency of some sort and the £400 is for the monthly rental of the property used. Just a thought!
