Observations

Straightforward arithmetic on the figures you've entered.

Your regular bills average $1,144 a week ($59,494 a year). Moving that amount into a separate account as soon as you're paid is the single change that makes the biggest difference.

Your subscriptions come to approximately $42 a month — $504 a year across 1 item.

Your car and transport costs average $125 a week once registration, insurance, fuel and servicing are counted together. It's often more than people expect, because those bills arrive at different times.

You have approximately $116 a week that isn't allocated to anything in particular. That's not a problem — but it is the money most likely to disappear without anyone deciding where it went.

You're putting $160 a week toward goals, which is about $8,320 over a year.

Increasing your savings by $25 a week would add approximately $1,300 over a year — the sort of change that's easy to dismiss as too small to matter.
