Budgeting my way .

If a packet of crisps costs one pound and you eat one every day then in a year you will spend 365 pounds unless you steal the crisps which I do not recommend.

So in 2 years you will have 730 pounds in savings which will be enough to buy you that laptop you fancy.

Inflation is 10% so that will mean that the laptop will have gone up by £73

You will have to give up crisps for 73 more days which is about 10 weeks and that is 1/5 of a year and it f inflation is still  10%

The laptop will have gone up by 2% so you will have to stop eating crisps for longer

Using this method will you ever be able to afford to buy the laptop you desire?

Why not try eating two packs a day for 6 months

Then you will save 1460 pounds in two years when you give them up

I think this is the word that newspapers create their headlines etc etc
