Hello
After 6 years with my partner we are now doing a joint budget please feel free to pass comments (after previous jkind advice debt at lowest rate we can get but tescos 0% runs out soon so will be changing)
we've been to the bank and set up savings accounts (2 of them are 8% which i thought was good enough)and everything!!! we start this soa 1st dec. :eek:
I know that there are people who may be in a worse situation than us but we are going to have £100 pocket money each a month. we've never stuck a budget and are used to buyig odd £5 things here and there. we done a trial run a few weeks ago and partner spent all his money in the first week bless him.
thanks guys and girls
