Fresh start....

Karen well done on all your progress - keep going - I'm sure you can clear your debts and have the family you want. What an incentive to spend no money - a nice cute baby...

(....ps I hope I haven't said the wrong thing:o)

Good Luck

Hi Karen

You seem to be organised enough! Having a baby is definately a brilliant incentive. When we decided to have a baby we were about 5k in debt...and now for many reasons 3 years later we are about 30k!!! Things never go to plan so it is good to deal with as much as can before you make any drastic changes (like having a baby) IYSWIM.

I find my DS all the inspiration I need to get us out of debt!!

Keep going as you are making good progress

HI Karen - just popping in. Hope you've had a better day today. Keep focused on debt busting but try to appreciate what's around you as well and make sure you have fun along the way!

Hello K_30!

How are you today??

I met up with some friends today, who have children, boy does it make me broo-ooooo-oooooo-ooooo-dy.

Have not confided in them about financials, feel like a failure or lesser person for admitting how much money I owe. Debt remains a big secret. Hard to not tell them why I know its never a good time to have a baby, they have no idea, why now would be a quadrupley bad time. We could end up bankrupt if we had a family now......

Sure that you and I are not the only ones in this boat.

Hope you are ok.

Hi Babyhead, hope you are well. I'm getting there with the organisations....all be it slowly :rolleyes: It's so nice to hear others experiences as it makes me realise I am not the only one and that others situations change all the time. I'm def doing it the sensible way and do know deep down I have enough time but it doesn't stop the feelings unfortunately....who invented emotions anyway :rotfl:
