Just thought i would say hello to everyone!
I have only just found this forum and am very impressed with the amount of useful information and friendly members!
I have been trying hard to sort my financial situation out over the last few years and have been doing well but still have a fair bit to go. I have paid off 2 loans both 3k and have paid off all other bills in full ( car insurance, vodafone, and personal debts). I still have a total of £7,145 to pay off which comprises of a HSBC flexi loan for 1,500 and a personal loan.
I am a student and live with my girlfriend, i work part time around the course and sell various stuff on ebay to try and make extra money.
Anyway thats me and hello!:D

Hi Mar-tan
Welcome to the very friendly DFW community. Well done on the progress you've made so far. You might want to join some of the challenges to keep you motivated on your DFW quest. You'll see lots on the board and there's a 'sticky' at the top listing quite a few. Some are about earning more money (such as make £10 a day- which might fit in with your ebay selling) and others are about not spending so much (Monthly NSD challenge- set a target number of days in the month when you don't spend anything) or there are lots to do with saving (sealed pot challenges and similar).
Other than that just keep reading the information and post any questions or worries you have- usually someone on here knows the answer!A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -
