Is anyone else always always skint?

We budget to an inch of our lives but for years we've always been skint. Everything I buy I always need to check if we have enough money for it. I can't just go out and buy the kids clothes when theyve outgrown them. I can't just get a new front door fitted because it's been leaking for 2 years. There's so many other things we need that are deemed more essential that it will probably stay like that for a further 2 years. We have a household income of £35k gross. We shouldn't be this skint.

@Blondeshavemorefun

Think she meant old house not horse
No she did mean horse. She said in a later post that the horse cost her £1300 in vet bills that month and that it's very old.
