Hi,
i was just wondering what is the best money saving / debt paying thing you have ever done and what is the worst???
My best - sing up for internet banking and track every penny going in and out = no more charges and i know where my money is going
My Worst - adding to a loan in 2006 (about 3 grand:eek: ) that i cant even remember what for and taking PP with it so its taking YEARS to pay off!!
Just a bit of fun but i thought it might help some people out sharing these things!!

Best: Erm not too sure hehe
Worst: Having £6k when I left Uni and didn't buy a house back in 20010 -
Best was paying off all of it bar £1500 on a low lob card, worst was being back in debt and needing to get another credit card after swearing I wouldn't ever do it again.
All in the space of 6 months.

Best - buying my first flat aged 22 in Edinburgh; getting a job a year ago with a good employer which has a range of financial benefits and which is within walking distance of home so I save quite a bit of cash;
Worst - being out of work and living off a credit card for 7 months costing me about £13,000 in debt!Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!0 -
