It seems I have a problem. I would very much like to be independent of my parents sometime soon, and I think they wholeheartedly agree. The thing is, they aren’t confident in my abilities, so this afternoon they gave me the task of writing a budget out as an exercise. At first I thought this would be easy, but I somehow worked out that my income would be £3000 per anum, my outgoing £25000. I don’t know what went wrong, and now I feel stupid. I’ll bee stuck here forever, it seems. Any suggestions where I went wrong, or how I can free myself.
