Getting FIREd up 😀

Yes it was 🤣!

Payday! (Well, technically in 45 minutes, but the money is there so I'm spending it 🤣!) I've filled up my pots, then emptied them again settling all my various debts to the credit card (been actually using it as a "credit" card lately, which is not how I usually roll 😮!) That leaves me with, er, probably OK on petrol and groceries (although it is a 5-weekend month 🤔), but definitely not enough in personal. I have a plan though! Should be back to breaking even either next payday or the one after 🤞 Would have been in a better position if BF hadn't decided we were going for dinner and drinks last weekend, but life's too short!

Good to have a plan! And thanks for the payday reminder! This is Mr Cheery's not mine, so I often forget, but it's me doing the budget shuffling excitement!

Always good to review the budget. Well done on clearing down the CC

I feel like most people who do surveys are the type of people who would be hot on their budgets ...

That’s an interesting point. I wonder if they ever address the skewing of data from their surveys and how it isn’t necessarily indicative of the wider population.

Once I got thrown out of a survey because I wasn’t a CEO or CFO of a business. I can’t imagine those people would be doing surveys!

I occasionally do surveys (prolific and Royal Mail postal) and occasionally keep a (very) loose eye on my budget 😁😁

Probably capture small business owners but not the ones they're hoping for!
