money saving expert has been a lifesaver for me
i was seriousley stupid with money.me and the wife have relatively good jobs(bringing in £60k a year)three kids they never go without anything.
we had a £33k mortgage and we were overdrawn every month,never had any second thoughts about what we bought just sepnt spent spent.
the 18 months ago we discovered this site.
and now £18 months down the line we are virtually debt free and have moved house and trippled our morgatge.the kids still dont go without only we now shop around for everything and money goes twice as far.tesco spends used to be £150 a week now with tesco codes and a bit of holding back its now £100 a week,we now only eat out a couple of times a month instead of 10-15 times and you know what its better as we enjoy it more and make more of occasion of it.we also saved on car insurance,house ins,life ins, you name it we save on it every month
we would be lost without this site and i would probably be divorced as arguments used to end up in one of us buying the other flowers of gifts to make up and again a meal and the arguments were in the first place usually over money
so all of you who think its only money well yes it is but with this site that money goes a little further.the only thing i need to do now is stop the fags to save me another £150 a month(my misses says that will buy us our next car and shes bl**dy right)
all the best to everyone for xmas and the new year and dont forget spread the monies you have wisely it will go further
