So I'm a single parent but earn a good wage.
Bills = just less than half my income.
Always seem to be overdrawn so thought I would see where the money is going.
£550 to tesco and sainsburys last month. I actually feel sick. There is just ds and I. He has school dinners. He has breakfast and dinner at my mums during the week. Every other weekend he is at his dads. I'm on a diet and don't eat much. £550. It's obscene.
Added to that £150 on meals out.
It needs to stop. Honestly I should be comfortable. I would love a new car as mine is becoming a money pit, but I don't think I can afford it as there is never any money at the end of the month.. No fucking wonder.
I'm actually ashamed of myself
