What is the plan for June regarding payments?
How do you intend to make up the short fall in the emergency fund?
Sorry for all the questions, I just want you to be as prepared as you can be
Thanks Bailey
The short fall will be made up by a regular payment in my monthly budget (all accounted for on the Step change budget) and then I hope to be add to it as and when I can - e.g. If I have an extra £10 saved from my monthly grocery bill etc.
This is all so new to me - I thought I was good at doing monthly budgeting but I have never had set amounts for things like petrol, clothes, entertainment for children etc. It's a proper revelation and no wonder why we got in such a debt cycle over the years!MFW!
