Cold but sunny. British weather does suffer from bi polar.
When you are working a low paid job with small hours, you have to be cautious with your money. Like seriously cautious. I took a job that was 15 hours a week at a pay of ?435 per month while living in Zone 3 (Boris Johnson desperately wants my area to be Zone 2) London. It's shitty so I have to manager my money.
You may be wonder why I took that job? Well, while I was applying for about 100 jobs a week and getting no reply, this was the only one that got back to me. Plus, those other jobs were looking for 5 years experience and I only had 3. So I was fucked.
Can ?435 last in London until your next monthly pay day? Nope. As my journey to work was ?120 a month. Luckily I found a cheaper solution around that. Whats bad is how I was called "stingy" for not leading money out. I mean, really? Yes I had bills to pay and by the time payday came, "annnnd its gone". Yeah. Shitty.
Now, my pay has increased, so has hours and things are on the up. Kinda. Slowly. Looks like I will retire at 90. Thanks Tories.
Anywho, what money saving tactics and advice can you give to those who haven't reached that low point yet?
Give us some of your tales of money stress and one advance I would give is, do not go to a pay day loan lender. Just stay away.
Some may say money isn't important but sadly, it's what makes the world go round and the point between life and death in some cases.
