I get paid cash weekly..I put a % of my rent/dewa/internet etc away every week.
If I have money left over at the end of the week then I can go out...if not then I stay in with a bottle of bubbly

For the last 6 months or so I have been keeping all my credit card slips, I only use the credit card for housekeeping reasons, eg supermarket etc. At the end of each month I add them all up, I was sick of hearing him moan about the credit card bill so I now know for a fact how much is down to me.

normally I am responsible for approx 2500

Only so many ways of cutting a cake - perhaps look at other opportunities for creating wealth than trying to see how you can budget - enlarge the cake !

As I undertand it though the 10k does go on your account and can be used against equipment and F&B. Whilst not ideal it does help....

Yeah, I've been holding off because I'm in a new company and office.

I'm now regarded as the greatest employee so can get away with packed lunches I reckon.

I'll probably still go out and get bits but only crisps and fags.

think its 5k that goes on your account, which in fairness is still a fair amount of food and beer to consume!! if your shelling out that much money on membership think it can be assumed that you have your own golfing gear although some people may upgrade certain items through the year!
