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.
