Back Up Plan

Posts: 410 Forumite

My debt free plan is all based around me living with my OH.
Although I know I can afford the flat and living expenses I bought when we first met alone (it's all in my name it's MY flat) it does make me think how is handle my finances and debt and our joint financial commitments if we were to split - I definately would need to reassess my plan....
I could easily earn more (I think) with babysitting etc (I work in childcare) and reduce my expenses a bit (council tax, sky, mobile bill)
I guess I'd have to manage and swallow it.
I've far too much time on my hands!!

Are you thinking about splitting up? It sounds like you have thought it through in some detail? I guess you need to know that you can manage on your own with the incomings and outgoings as circumstances do change, but it does sound like you are planning on kicking him out! xx0

We do have arguments and he says he might leave or is going to, and then we talk more and he doesnt.0
