Hi,

I don't know how you can earn more money but why not hot foot it over to the Debt Free Wannabe board. Although you may not have any debt they are excellent at helping to budget. They'll want an SOA (statement of affairs) showing your incomings and outgoings. They are very supportive and friendly.

Also take a look at the old style board which helps with planning meals etc.

There may be some ideas from those 2 boards that can help maximise your money.
