I'm struggling to balance our family expenses with my partner's varying income each month. Sometimes it doubles our budgeted amount, but other months it falls significantly short. I've been trying to save in a separate account for emergencies and retirement, but it feels like we're barely scraping by as it is.
Does anyone else out there have experience navigating this financial scenario? What are some strategies or tips you'd recommend for making the most of our variable income situation without sacrificing long-term savings goals?
