People assume single income families must be wealthy to survive during cost of living

Wrong

Privileged yes 100% and grateful no doubt

but it means making cutbacks

We don’t do an annual holidays

We eat basic meals with minimal ingredients

We don’t go to restaurants or brunches

We negotiate deals with service providers

Sometimes we eat into the emergency fund

We prioritise insurance and necessities over indulgences

We keep presents to a monetary limit

We research saving hacks and avoid trips to the shops unecessary

We do free activities by the local council and go to parks

It’s not easy but it’s possible 🤍
