My Survive the Recession Diary

Hi Sun Addict,
You sound as if you are doing well. Not very good at budgetting myself but I have recently been working out spends for everything other than bills i.e. petrol, food, toiletries, entertainment etc., and put said amount into labelled jars and so far I have been doing good. I'm now thinking about how much I am spending cos when the jars are empty (unless it's the petrol/food jars) they are empty and I just can't buy stuff. Only started a couple of weeks ago but I'm hoping to have money left in at least one jar!
Hope this helps! x0 -
Good idea Swinstie - this is the sort of thing I like - although many years ago I was burgled and I had a similar jar type thing and they took them! :mad:
I've started a new diary now and it's here:
