Budgeting

Following on from my comments yesterday, there was research about people running out of money before their next benefit income was due.

It doesn't automatically mean they suffer does it? I quite often run out of money before my next income. It happens when the bills have been paid and I have shopped for groceries. There's more than enough food in the house until the next money. It's no big deal but technically I have run out of money.

It reminds me of my days back in the DSS when people would complain "I haven't had any money money for a month" which sounds quite dramatic until one realises that a month ago they had a month's income, just like everyone who is monthly paid has a month to wait between paydays.
