<prompt> Human: throwaway for reasonsI currently have a job that pays 750 a month an apprenticeship. Im 18, and havent really begun managing my money yet, so a lot of it gets wasted, and I have little left by the time Im half way betweeen my pay cheques. Ive also just found out that me and my partner are going to be having a child.Basically, I need help with budgeting. Im currently in the frame of mind where if I want to go and buy something, Ill check the money is in the bank and Ill buy it - before stopping to consider what Ill be leaving myself with. I know I need to get out of this frame of mind, and that I need to start saving for the child and buying bits and everything, but Im finding that hard at the moment.My only fixed expenses are phone contracts, which are 89 total for myselfpartner. These were both taken out before finding out, meaning theyre a bit too high to pay off nowHow did you get in to the I need to budget and manage my money frame of mind? How can I? I know I need to, but Im finding it difficult to adjust.  <response>: When you get a picture of the sonogram, wrap a copy around your cashdebit card.
