Hello, welcome to :money: , a few questions to help build up a better picture -
What is your average take home pay? What is the very minumum?
What other expenditure do you have eg food, clothes, car, loan repayments. Any other income eg. benefits, partners wages?
I would recommend doing a full statement of all income and expenditure as it makes it easier to see where savings can be made. There is a template on here somewhere- have a look at a few other diaries.
Hope this helps a bit.:)1% at a time challenge member #127
