I'm going on mat leave in October and have really started to worry about how we'll manage financially. I've been working part-time on a good salary since March last year and, looking back, could have saved money, but haven't. I buy the bulk of the shopping and buy all DS's clothes, toys and his other necessities but I still should have money left at the end of the month - and I have never managed to do it. I don't know where it has all gone! I really don't think I've frittered it as I've tried to be really careful.
I'd really hoped to take a year's mat leave but now I'm really worried about how we'll manage. Was also hoping, and advised to keep DS in nursery tow days a week but just can't see how we can possibly do this.
Anyone else in a similiar position?
