This post is so helpful in terms of thinking about extra spending categories! I’ve always been quite good at keeping on top of my finances, but it has been surprisingly difficult adapting to the extra costs of living with a long term condition. Thank you for sharing your ideas + template!

In reply to Dawn. It's definitely helpful to see it all laid out visually isn't it, especially when there's brain fog to manage!

Before my ME hit, one of my roles at the bank where I worked was debt counselling. The first thing we did was go through someone’s expenditure item by item to build up a picture of where they spent their money. Then I would categorise them as you have.
I still do this sometimes for myself, especially if I know I’ve a lot coming up or just want to check how I’m doing and just where the money is going. Eg Amazon kindle 99p books are great, but I didn’t realise until I checked that I was spending £10-15 per month on them which was taking me over budget.
