I work 36 hours a week band 4 NHS job.. I have 2 daughters. I have never had child maintenance for the older one and get £20 a week for the younger one. Older one is going to uni in the next few weeks. My tax credit is going to half and I am worried about how I will manage. My wages pays all my rent, bills and car (needed as work in the community)
I am wondering about breaking down what's left and putting into envelopes (does anyone do this?)
I am used to getting my tax credits weekly and use it for petrol and food once my wages has gone. With this being half it won't cover these things.
Does anyone have any tips about how to manage my finds better and realistically.
Many Thanks
