Balancing your expenses in times of crisis

We understand you must be worried about the social, mental and economical effect of the current situation.

There are a huge amount of resources available to help you cope with restricting contact with your work colleagues, friends and family over the coming weeks and months and we will be posting details of some of our favourites in the near future.

However, many of you will be worried about what will happen if you lose your job, close your business or have your wages reduced. Whilst we can’t wave a magic wand, we hope that our Budget Planner will help you to assess your current income and expenses, perhaps in more detail than you’ve done before. You can then use it to view the impact of your income reducing and consider ways in which you can cut costs to make the figures balance.

We’ve found from experience that the sooner you can understand the position you’re in, the calmer you’ll feel.
