I've been having a neb on here for a while
Im 22 and have a fiance who is 29, getting married next year.
We live in a tiny tiny flat, he bought it when he was single. He lost his job and now has very bad credit so we wont get another mortgage for a while. Were going to sell and put the profit in the bank for now and we'll just have to rent in the mean time.
I enjoy cooking and am always happy to save the pennies
Im tranning to be an Accountant and by OH is a Fabricator :O)0 -

I work full time as a software (SAP) consultant for one of the big global consulting firms. I moved to Kent for work, but desperate to move back home to Hampshire to be closer to my friends and family.
Single, living in shared accommodation, no children, female, 35.
In debt to the eyeballs, and not making ends meet at all at the moment, but I'm trying really hard to change my bad habits and turn things around.
I've been receiving the MSE emails for well over a year now, but only joined the forums yesterday. Faves so far - pretty much everything I've readbut particularly the Grocery challenge and the Free cinema tickets.
I wanna be a saver, not a spender but first...

Hi all
Have lurked these forums for a couple of years but only just started posting. I'm 29 yrs old and am currently coming to the end of my PGCE in primary at the University of Cape Town having moved over here in January. I decided on a career change last year due to being in a very volatile job area (travel retail), and I was getting bored of it tbh
Didnt really know what else to do so thought I would give teaching a whirl, and thankfully I love it! Just finished my second teaching placement at a very deprived school where all the kids come from local townships. Horrendous social problems (Hiv is obviously rife, abandonment by parents, poor living conditions, drugs and gangs etc...) but they were a pleasure to work withSpring Fesitval Challenge: Save health & money!
