Back again with some budget advice being needed xD

I was underpaid once again, by a significant amount. Not only do I need to buy every member of my family Xmas gifts but I also need a tv. Now, if I am going to get one it needs to be 40" inches.

My advice I want to ask is this;

Buy a second hand TV for a low cost and have the risk of it breaking in a short period time.

Monthly instalments (3 months of £150// £450 total)

Or wait another month of no gaming lol

Good advice will get +50 <3

If it was me man and I was strapped for cash, I'd wait for another month. Christmas is around the corner. You can do other stuff than gaming!

Honestly, you could find some cheap TVs under $200 with Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals, I saw a few on amazon yesterday

If you're getting underpaid, have you spoke to your boss/who ever deals with financial things?

I'd go with the payments option, pay a little now and if you can next month pay the remainder

I'd go for the monthly instalments personally, if they have the option to buy now pay later that would be a lot better!

You don't NEED a TV. You want one.
And you don't NEED to get people Xmas gifts. Tell them you're strapped for cash and don't want presents and you won't be giving them out either.

They'll get over it, if they are good friends/family.
When you're broke and asking about budgeting..First thing to go are WANTS.


If you really want to continue the 'need' mindset of what you want..Get a new job or a second job that pays properly.
When there is a will, there is a way. I remember one time when a store near me gave out gift cards in return for soda cans. Spent a summer slumming it like a hobo digging in trash for cans.
