why do i want to work 7shifts■■? because i have bills to pay

This is why you have an emergency fund. You want to build up a separate savings account with 3-6 months living expenses in. It saved my backside 2 years ago when I had to have emergency spinal surgery and an unplanned 12 weeks off work on £95 sick pay.

This. Being an idiot and not having a penny to my name apart from my weekly pay caused no end of crap when suddenly I couldn’t work. Going forward the first thing I’ll be doing when I’m working again is build up an emergency fund.
