Payday Plans

June 25th, 2015 at 08:55 am

I like the idea of posting what I'm budgeting for payday tomorrow. (Thanks for the idea HouseHappy!)

Aside from bills - rent, utilities and council tax - I will be budgeting:

-150 Groceries
-50 for baby/toddler items (nappies,wipes,new cutlery for J)
-200 to catalogue
-70 to cc#2
-30 to cc#1
-18 to emergency fund
-30 to Christmas savings
-15 to bnpl item (cot & mattress, payoff April 2016)
-44.40 for council overpayment

Debt and more debt seems to be the theme here.

I need to keep track of my catalogue debt too, so I will get that added to the page currently titled Credit Card Debt.

    I love that you are planning for Christmas and that you continued to fund your emergency fund. Keep up the good work!

    Thanks NJ! We've saved for Christmas for the past five years, I might try and save some extra cash though, this is just high street vouchers. I remember when we were struggling years ago, savings were the first thing I stopped. I've changed my mindset now.

    Wow! 300 to debt that is the way to make a dent, SG!

    CCF is right--300 GBP is a great swing at that debt.

    I know that it definitely helps me to have it laid out - knowing what the upper spending limit is for each category.

    Nice way of balancing multiple goals at the same time!
