How much have you got left in your current account? If payday is Monday? I think Iā€™m doing quite well with 141.36 šŸ˜…

Yeah to be fair my car is in the garage so the money will be used when I get it back! And then some!

My payday is Tuesday and I have 3p, no petrol and hardly any food. Weā€™ve had a tough couple of months due to our oldest DS being made redundant and me giving him nearly half of my wages to pay his rent and bills. Thankfully he starts a new job on Monday!!!

That is tough! Iā€™m so glad he starts a new job Monday! What an amazing parent you are to do that for him! He will remember that he can rely on you in times of need and that is worth its weight in gold!

Anything over 50 is a bonus.

Well done, if you can mange, I'd start saving 20 per week while you're ahead.

I never had a cushion when the children were little, I have a small amount of emergency saving now that really relieved the financial stress of getting from week to week.
