IN CONTEXT
Kurz vor dem Monatsende herrschte Ebbe in der Haushaltskasse, weshalb wir die geplante Anschaffung verschoben, statt den Dispokredit weiter auszuschöpfen.
Shortly before the end of the month, the household budget was running dry, which is why we postponed the planned purchase instead of drawing further on the overdraft.
