I have a 3 way method firstly I put enough aside for bills. Then I have a set amount for each moth eg everyday spending. When I get to the end of the month I put these left overs in savings. And then after I use the rest for impulse purchases which I do quite abit lol. Then I have savings like you say incase anything goes south. Also to get that thing out of your tripod if there is any of it sticking out try and grip it with some fine pliers and twist it out. Or another way this has risk to it tho, find another screw with a similar diameter and then put a dot of super glue on it and bond it to the screw stuck in the camera (be careful not to get glue on the camera) after this you should have a good place to grip and twist it off.

Putting your savings in an actual savings account might help, youd get higher interest
