Tight budget this month. My car tax is due, and I need to put some money aside for the birthdays of three of my children in March. One is a grown up, but the others are my two youngest, including NEET who is turning 18.
I also need to save for a new passport, and I’m late getting the pooches boosters. Life is just one long list of bills.
Enjoying your progress! Are you not able to pay for the car tax by monthly direct debit or even 6 monthly to give you a bit of breathing space? I know there is a charge so not strictly money savingbut it spreads it out a little?
