More than a budgeting book
The lived experience
Family, housing, financial pressure and the work of rebuilding. Includes the author's update on a safer home, compensation and an ongoing Stage 2 complaint.
The October update
Universal Credit appointment problems, the path towards independence, and a chapter examining welfare policy through historical examples and linked sources.
The practical companion
Calendars, budget pages, debt and evidence trackers, reflections, rebuilding prompts and fourteen weekly planners to print for personal use.
“Do not delay my independence and then use the delay as evidence that I have no ambition.”
From the October update. Personal accounts are the author's experience and perspective; the book separates those accounts from its sourced policy discussion.
Look inside before you decide
Read the cover and selected extracts from pages 7, 11, 42, 43 and 79. Get a feel for the writing, explore the new chapter and see the Complaint & Evidence Tracker. No sign-up is needed.

Is this a physical book?
No. This listing is for the digital PDF edition. There is no postage and no printed copy is included.
Can I use it on my phone?
The PDF can be opened in a PDF reader on a phone, tablet or computer. Its pages have a fixed print layout, so small text may require zooming. The free online extracts use a separate reading view that adjusts to your screen.
Can I type directly into the planner?
This is not sold as a fillable form. Print selected pages for personal use, or use your PDF reader's annotation tools where supported.
Does it provide legal or financial advice?
