Thanks for posting this. Writing about income is a huge thing for many people, so the fact you wrote this shows your integrity and honesty.

You're spot on about prepping. It's not just for the 'big one'. It's also for all those smaller events that turn life upside down.

I posted a little while ago about having to pay 3 lots of rent at the same time. That ripped off all my finances before payday. I now have about £35 to last me until the end of the month. Thankfully I'll be putting an expenses claim through in work for about £300ish, so that'll be a nice buffer until the end of the month.

My preps are the reason I'm still eating well. Granted I seem to be getting loads of parcels of equipment, but that was all budgeted for. However, my situation changed suddenly (had 1.5 weeks notice) and then everything changed in a very uncool way.

Glad you have TOF Jr to be with.
