Do you have a regular income?

Semi-regular, but since I am paid by the hour and hours vary greatly
from month to month, I don't know exactly how much I'll get. Usually
it is a few hundred euro per month.

Do you live alone or at home?

Alone.

Cell phone?

Yes, so my employer can call me.

I don't live in France, and don't know the
costs of living etc, but I'd be happy to take a confidential lookat your
current budget system, turn it upside down, turn it all around and give it
back to you in better shape than what it started in, but the trick with all
budgeting is the commitment to sticking to it no matter what. It won't work
without commitment.

At this point, it wouldn't help. My basic living expenses amount to
more than I make, and I survive mainly with the help of handouts from
relatives and friends. Not a good situation to be in when
contemplating flight lessons.

Sure, some people canb't be helped, but not very many, and I'd suggest if
you can afford internet access, there is room to move.

I can't afford my Internet access; someone else is kind enough to pay
for it for me, as I need it for work.

If your debts are all over the place, you may need to consolidate to bring
repayments down.

I can't afford to make any payments at all on my outstanding debt.

I've gone off on a tangent now, but I'm sure you get what I'm getting at.

Yes, but my situation is much more dire than what you have in mind.
