Just that really. Every other money thread ends up taken over by those with large incomes and low expenses, or just large incomes tbh. If you want to. Post your numbers if you are bloody broke and just getting to the end of the month(or not)…a safe space that cannot be taken over by the higher earners maybe?

I’ve recently walked out of my job, managed to get a new one, the downside is, it’s 60 hours a month less so I’m going to be earning like £700 roughly less a month!
I only pay 1 utility bill a month and my phone bill so it’s not like I’m going to be not able to pay bills, it’s my savings that is going to suffer because I won’t be able to save much each month like I have been doing!

700 less than what though?
