Do you feel able to plan for the future?

We tend to live in the here and now. All earned money is swallowed up by existing. Normally I would save something, but this has been increasingly difficult in these times. Our buffer is gone. It disappeared a long time ago. Although I feel that nothing changes, it does. We were once capped, and now I am working. Now I am working, the goal posts continue to move. I expect in September we will again be subjected to conditionality, where I will be called in for frequent meetings with the DWP. Not to say there is no hope. Everything should improveā€¦ Eventually.
