Boost your income

Learn how to increase your income, manage debt and budget for your household.

The three main ways to boost your income

1

Making the money you already have go further by creating a household budget

This is a good idea if you:

  • often do not know where your money is going or what you are spending it on, or
  • forget to set aside money for things you pay yearly or infrequently, like insurance, car tax, MOTs, or dentist visits or,
  • would like to feel more in control of your money, and less anxious about your ability to pay for the things you need.

2

Earning more money by checking if you can get more benefits

This is a good idea if:

  • You haven’t checked in a while, or
  • Things have changed (like if you have moved house, had a child, changed jobs, or become a single parent).

3

Getting back on top of debt and changing your debt repayments

This is a good idea if you:

  • haven’t agreed an affordable debt repayment plan with your supplier(s),
  • do not have enough money to pay repayments and your ongoing bills,
  • have a debt repayment plan, but now you can’t afford to pay what you agreed.
