How I did mine

Lorry fare-300

Tithe-56

Save-100

The rest for food, I usually take my own food from home, I cook myself.

No rent cos I live with my parent.

But the advantage was were I did my service, got a lot of tips that sometimes I don't touch the allowance the whole month

I'm about to start my National Service and accommodation issues are becoming a problem because the cost of rent is very high. When you deduct all your expenses from what NSS pays, you will be left with nothing
