Firewalker's Victory Log
I have decided to start a Victory Log - I found this suggested by one of the big motivators and the more I think about it the more it makes sense. We, and I in particular, have got into the habit of focusing on the negative when moving forward actually is probably easier if we focus on what we have achieved - even moderate…

Pink's 'hope I'm reformed' shopaholic diary
So, a little back story I guess. There was a time when I was very good with money. I always had money left in my account at the end of each month and always thought long and hard about any purchases. Then my world was turned upside down when my best friend was killed in 2008. My way of coping and to feel 'close' to her was…

Journey to Financial Freedom
Well ... here goes. I'm in debt. Quite a bit, actually; I haven't done the figures properly yet, but it's about £7k. There are a couple of reasons for it, the main one being no change in pay for 2 years. I've just had a (pretty decent! :D ) salary increase agreed, which should come into effect in the next few weeks. I'll…
