Budget Calculator - Debt Calculator
As a former Credit Analyst and Credit Counseler, I have to say this debt calculator is the best! You can see how long it will take you to pay off your debt if you only pay your minimum payments. It also give you the options of seeing when you'll be debt free by fixed payments, or you can check a "Debt-Free Deadline" by entering when you want to be debt free and the calculator will show you how much you need to pay. You need to stick to the plan in order to get it done, and not use the credit cards you're trying to get rid of.

I am not working currently as I am a carer for my elderly parents, so I eat lunch at home. I have set myself a budget of 1 pound a day for everything I eat, except for our main meal at night with my husband. It is quite possible to make 1 pound (British, 2 bucks approximately American) stretch, as I mostly live on snacks and fruit during the day. I mentally calculate the cost of everything as I go along - I know that's a bit sad, but it gives me a sense of satisfaction to stick within my budget. If I do go over one day, I cut back the next. It's a bit like a diet I suppose. I can make a big bowl of mashed potato with grated cheese mixed in for about 50p, and this covers lunch for 2 days. Then I can have a banana, an apple and a bag of crisps. There is no limit put on our evening meals, but we don't go mad! I am a great believer in looking after the pennies etc. By econ o'miser

I stayed home as a parent until my youngest started 1st grade. We happily survived on one income.
