Screened out of a survey because my home is worth less than £349,999 😅!

Have just done a Prolific survey where I had to unscramble some slightly jumbled-up sentences. Having spent the day deciphering customer emails, it took me a while to work out that the first few needed unscrambling - they just looked like the usual nonsensical mess to me 🤣!

ISA: 4.2% (3.9%)

LISA: 23.2% (23.2%)

Cash for retirement: 11.8% (11.8%)

Cash for refurb: 5.8% (5.8%)

Er, slow and steady wins the race 🤣?

So, I have been spending far too much money having fun recently! Payday yesterday and I had to spend £95.10 settling up the credit card balance from my "personal" pot, leaving that pot with the princely sum of £48.36 for the month (this despite being "saved" by having a chunk of extra cash in my wages for mileage, which all found its way into that pot). Projected "personal" expenditure for April is a minimum of £74.00* This does not add up! Austerity April begins here! I promise I will do my very best to a) not spend on anything not already identified; and b) make up the shortfall through surveys, so I don't go into another month carrying a credit card balance. Surely I can manage one month 🤣?

*More likely £94.00, as I'd like a flutter on the Grand National 🤣 This is the SC/mortgage-free version of "austerity" after all 😀!
