How do savings pots help with budgeting?
Explain it like I'm 16
Savings pots divide money by purpose, such as bills, car costs and a holiday. They help show which money is already allocated.
A real-world example
You have £500 in total, but £300 is allocated to rent and £100 to a repair. Only £100 is unallocated. Looking only at the overall balance could make you think you have more spending room than you do.

Common misunderstanding
Moving money into a pot does not increase your balance or erase debts. It changes how you organise the money you have.
