Tbh I find it quite easy and I am on around 14k a year. I pay £475 rent per month aswell as the usual Ctax, utilities, Sky HD and so on.

There are two reasons why I can live quite comfortably in my nice apartment in a nice part of town on such a low wage. One is the fact I don't drive. I live in the center of town and about 40min walk from work. If I go anywhere else I use my bike if I need to. The second one and this is the biggy, I have no debts. None. Not one.
The only debt I have ever had is when I took a small loan on out. This was for two reasons. One I had 0 creidt rating and wanted to give it a small nudge in the right direction. The second was the fact I wanted a new TV,

And no I don't really love my job but it is stress free and has zero impact on my life outside of work. I never have to be one of those people who brings their work home with them and for that I am bloody thankful.
