[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8045639, member: 86168"] [USER=81760]@Jdunn55[/USER] you make your money from milk, therefore that is where you need to prioritise, peeing about with relief's that may, or may not turn up, isn't doing you any good whatsoever, probably the opposite. It might be more profitable, and easier, to find some one to do the bulk of your outside work instead, leaving you freer to concentrate on producing milk, profitably. Many of us have been where you are, you cannot do it all, l tried, and ended up having a bad accident, 24 yrs on, i'm reg as disabled, and can't do much. The best bit of advice l was given, after the doc failed to stop me milking again, was start later in the morning, because you will still work till dark, 6 months later, the cows had to go. 7 yrs later, they came back, son, but doing some milking for him, put me back in hospital, doc was right. Entirely my own fault, and l don't complain. Only posted that bit, to try and show you, you can miss out on so much of life/fun, at your age But you really need to sort it out, and decide on one system, and stick to it. If your bank manager expects you to strictly stick to budget, it aint gonna happen, events have killed that off, but he may wish to keep a tight rein on you, and as frequently said, cash flow is king, a little reserve is extremely sensible, for little emergencies. But l reckon you will be ok, just need to smooth a few corners off. Young and enthusiastic, is great, but needs a curb at times, like a bank manager ! [/QUOTE]
