Not too sure how this would work? How is this any different to budgeting for unallocated spends? (Which could be £10 0r whatever suits).Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.0

This is allowing you to only spend £10 on yourself ONLY
such as make-up or buying things off of amazon
A lot of my unallocated spends are on the house and myself. If i cut back on hpw much i've got to spend on myself I can save more to buy household things ectDebt to fiancee - £404.00 (left to pay) | Save £12,000 in 2018 - £371.90 all together|2,018 items in 2018 (8/2,018)0 -
I think its a good idea to keep track of this. I spend too much on treats for myself/son. I would have to allocate £10 each to us.
How long does the money have to last? a week or month (a day would be good :rotfl:)0 -
I personally am going for weekly.

Weekly sounds good to me.
Think i will do £10 per week for me and £5 per week for ds.
I am not promising I will achieve these
but it will be useful to keep track to see how much I am spending on luxuries. 0 -

Updated my spend for his week. I am off work today and tomorrow so will be difficult to stay in budget.
I am also keeping track on here of other spends that aren't essential and come from other budgets as I want to keep track of how much money I spend on non-essentials.

2.81 - book
5.00 - boots sale
DS
Other non-essential
£25 electric blanket for me (sale)
