Does anyone else feel their money never seems to last?

Does anyone on here ever feel like there money doesn’t last?

Yes, this month was particularly bad but not sure why. I work full time in one job and do 10 hours at an evening job so in reality I should be ok, but as a single household income it doesn't seem to go very far 😞

I feel the same. Money is so tight at the moment.
I hate it. I agree this month has been bad. Think with the kids being off etc.

Yes my daughter (aged 26) keeps needing handouts and the youngest (20) rental at university is costing £480 a month.

Yes and evertime I pop into the shop near my house to get just a few items like bread etc. it seems to add up so quickly.

No. Do you budget and save?

Yes. Once my direct debits go out for bills and a loan payment (for two things that my landlords should have sorted out, but didn't), I then have to think about buying food, fuel, pet food and so on. Throw in unexpected costs to cover things like any car/house problems, and there isn't much left.

I do zero based budget so I know where every penny goes.

I record every £1 we spend so I know exactly what I have spent on. If I ran out, I would know where to tweak too.

Same i also live alone with no kids and live cheap in my cheap little flat.
