I am, however you look at it, not quite living within my income, so I should like to throw the question as wide as I can and ask - what should I or anyone do to live within my income. Obvious ideas are welcome: even though I am usually the one giving this advice to other people, I seem not to be very good at it myself...

Doing the sums on a regular basis is boring and annoying, but it does help.

Work out what you've spent and what you could cut down on. And keep doing it every month, because otherwise it's too easy to slip back into bad habits.
