But I could be a lot more organised. We don't budget specifically for things like car repair. And probably should! We do use a spreadsheet to work out where money’s going.

Of course as everyone talks of a recession and prices go up, we are all being hit harder. I am lucky to live in a two-salary household. But my partner's job ends in a few weeks' time and I am on a modest wage, paid by a business I am building. For me, the interesting thing is that however much my own family's finances improve after this time in the future, I can't see me going back to my old ways. That said, I added up incoming and outgoing money last weekend and as a family spend what some people may consider a lot on kids' activities and days out - but these will still be the last thing to go, I think!
