So long story short is, I'm 28, and my wife, 27, has 3 kids, ages 7, 5 & 2 years old, from a previous relationship (I won't go into detail) and we're expecting another (ours) in 4 months time. She works Mondays to Fridays from 8 to 5 as a florist, and she earns roughly R7200 pm.
I just started a job, where I'll be earning R8000 pm, for the first 3 months, then the company will have a look at raising it.
The advice I need is this;
We have a newborn on the way. Due to circumstances, my wife's kids aren't living with us at the moment, but that is set to change in the coming future.
How can I, as the husband and father, on a combined salary of R15200 look after a family of 6?
I know I need to work out a budget, and adhere to it strictly, but there has to be other financial advice I can potentially use and implement to make it easier.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated
