Is anyone else like this?
Me and my DH are a bit rubbish with money. Not terrible, we don't buy expensive clothes or gadgets, we don't go out much but somehow money seems to slip through our fingers like water. We make a budget but somehow always go over it. We come into a bit of money or save some up and then we dip into it and it goes. We're not in loads of debt, a small overdraft and a car loan but no credit cards.
I'm already good at doing cheap food shopping and buy clothes off ebay (paying for them by selling old clothes).
Does anyone have any good budgeting tips - the best way to do them, how to stick to them. What's best, weekly/monthly/yearly? All 3?
I'm sick of feeling permanently skint when, on paper, we should be ok.
