PS Is there a way to see only my posts in a thread so I can check my working out and I haven't missed a week?
Also who adds eating out/takeaways to budget?
I haven't but I allow one takeaway and one eat out per month and this month we stuck to that, a meal in Wetherspoons £23 ish and a takeaway £12 for the 5 of us and three school friends over for tea!
See you in the August thread!
I let my food budget rollover into a bulk buy - so if I want a takeaway it normally comes from that. Eating out is separate because I'm anti-social enough without adding another hurdle of "I can't afford it", and I don't do it very often!
That works for me, but I live by myself and don't have kids, so I can imagine it not working in the face of pester power!Start mortgage date: August 2022; Start mortgage amount: £240,999; Original mortgage free date: August 2056
