Give Your Finances An MOT

If you’re worried about making your money work this winter, why not give your finances an MOT and create a spending plan?

It’s straightforward and you can get the whole family involved.

First, take a look at how much you spend on:

• Household bills (rent, gas, electricity, council tax, internet, TV…)
• Living costs (groceries, household supplies…)
• Family and friends (gifts, school supplies/uniform…)
• Financial products (insurance…)
• Travel (public transport, car costs…)
• Leisure (trips away, subscriptions, sport, restaurants…)

Next, work out how much money you have coming in from work, benefits and anywhere else. Now compare the two! If you’ve got more money going out than coming in, you may benefit from some friendly and expert advice. 

The Money Matters Team can help you to maximise your income and minimise your spending by identifying and helping you to claim missing benefit entitlements and find the best ways to save money. You can contact the team via phone on 0808 164 0111 or email moneymatters@karbonhomes.co.uk.
