Help!

I am really struggling filling out a full income and expenditure. 
Is there a guide that helps you fill out accurately, it’s confusing as pocket money  very one week to the next. 
Uniform? Days Out? It’s all every now so then but don’t know how I can price things up per week.

  • Add up how much you spend over the years and divide it by 52 to get a weekly figure. Not everything is accurate, but it's a start to seeing where money goes.

    It's about producing a sensible and realistic budget.

    So instead of thinking 'pocket money' think what you actually spend it on and list it.

    That will also act as a limit for you
