I thought I was going to get a certain sum of money this month. On the basis of this notion I have made some purchases I have been putting off on the basis that they would be offset by that extra sum. As it turns out that extra sum is not in fact now happening so it's going to be squeaky bum time towards the end of this pay cycle.
I hate to ask this close to christmas but is anyone willing to help me mitigate this foolish mistake?
