about:blank - status of bank account day after nearly every pay
How are you faring with financial stability? Since I bought my house in late 2023, I go pay to pay with nothing left after each one when bills, etc. are paid. Luckily I am able to do overtime otherwise I'd be in the red.
But I am able to keep the mortgage paid, the power and water on, food on the table, fuel in the vehicles plus service/maintanance, and the rego/insurance bills covered. Tight by it works. We've just had 0.25 pct interest rate cut and hopefully there will be more cuts.
I still have to let bills go past their due dates and play 'catch up' though. Managable. I refuse to have a credit card so when I run of my own money it's a hard 'stop' without toxic credit usage (besides home loan).
It's also a glaringly obvious reason why dating doesn't happen - because I have no spare money to spend on romantic things. 8-) Just means I don't get more burnt I suppose. ;-)
