Think happy thoughts

I have been a member on here for a while now and at times have made a real impact on my debts but due to living with a ‘Serial Spender’ and series of other life changes and incidents along the way, I now find myself in loads more debt than I started with!

My partner and I have been very down about it lately and had a few days where we thought even our house may get repossessed as we couldn’t figure a way to pay the mortgage, but last night the fog seem to clear and we realised we can afford to pay it and things aren’t as bad as we were thinking! It’s amazing at what feeling positive can do for your finances! Lol

I won’t do another SOA as I have done loads in the past and we have cut back on everything we possibly can.

So I think the key is to stay positive and think lots of happy thoughts J
