Seriously Making Ends Meet

Hi, I have neglected this blog for a long time but now I though I would take you on my journey into making ends meet.  About one month ago my husband lost his job.  Before that we were living payday to payday, we are a family of 8 so things have always been tight.  I still have my job and we will be bringing in $1302 per fortnight.

Breakdown of our expenses:



  1. Rent - $880 
  2. Food - $300
  3. Electricity - $200
  4. Phone and Internet - $75
  5. Insurance (car, contents) - $50
  6. Fuel - $50
  7. Medicine - $35
TOTAL = $1590    So we are $270 per fortnight short.

So come along with me while I work this out lol, lets see if I can keep us alive.
