living of my tips for the rest of the year!

lamarsi

in an attempt to reduce my debts (currently standing at £84,273.37) i've come up with a plan:
as i taxi driver i do get tips which i throw always in the pot along with my other takings but as from yesterday i've decieded to keep these seperate and use them to pay for the following:

food, clothes, haircuts general living expences like going out etc and also pressies (glup)

my normal takings will pay for morgade loans c/c etc and utility bills.
i've given myself a set target of making £700 a week and any other money i get can then be spent on MEEEEE! ...no... seriously making extra payments..
towards repaying my debts.
i hope that by doing this it will help me stop randomly spending money which when you get paid daily can be a problem, the odd £10 on a takeaway etc.. and make me watch what i'm spending and also be a little nicer to my passengers in the hope of fleecing them for a few more pence .
yesterday was day one and so far it stands

tips recieved £10.90
tips spent : £0.70
left : £10.20......................with maths like that i should be the new countdown girl :rolleyes:

Hey lamarsi,

what a great plan, its essential to have a few little treats now & then as well as reducing debt & it sounds as though you have all your living expenses covered too.

Good luck
