create and stick to a budget

Today was payday. I drew out £50 from the bank and it is to last me all week.

I’ve been thinking of drawing £50 out of the bank at the beginning of each week, and spending no more than that – not using my cards at all. (Apart from bills and mortgage).

Was chatting to colleagues at work about it – one of them suggested I draw out £130 and make it last the entire month. I’m not sure if I can manage on that – well, I probably could manage, just, but I’d feel more comfortable with more. At the same time, the challenge appeals to me. Maybe I will try it.
