  • Okay so done some maths & the funds forecast for October is not looking good at all :eek:

    I always start our budget on or near the 25 of the month so I am going to stick with that date as that is what I am used to :p

    So next month I have worked out that DH will only get paid twice in that time period due to a weeks lying time.

    So to try & make sure that we don't starve or have to spend on the CC's next month I have had to reduce the repayments this month.

    I have worked out that we will be charged interest of 105.16 this month & the minimum payments are 190.97 so add these both together & there are the debt repayments for the CC this month. Total of 296.13, this is hardly anything at all but it has to be until we get back on our feet.

    This means that we will have 596.04 carried forward from this month to next to help cover the reduction in wages & the missing week!

    Hard work this juggling finances to it is!

    My thought exactly, it seems like a solution at the time but NEVER again.

    Good on you, Dolly Rocker.

  • Okay so had some good news.

    DH new work is actually monthly pay! He starts 5 September so will get paid for practically a full month :j

    Don't need to worry about keeping all that cash.

    Will keep 100.00 aside as we will have an extra week to wait as payday for us will not change to last day in the month.

    So happy.

    Dxxx
