Our income has recently dropped considerably
We’ve gone through all direct debits and cancelled everything we can, reduced insurance policies and changed providers for everything else where possible
After doing so it leaves us with £500 for the month for 4 of us to eat, fuel the car and buy anything else we may need
I’m cutting back on the food shopping and we are only using the car for DH’s commute and not going anywhere else, but this still leaves us with nothing spare to put towards anything else that crops up (birthday presents for family or new clothes or shoes for children etc)
Any tips?
Is this a typically low amount or do families of 4 make this amount work and I just need to try harder?
