i'm actually looking forward to getting my credit card statements this month because I can't wait to work out what I'm going to pay off. the best feeling ever and so addictive - as long as i dont linger too much on the balance area haha - anyone else anticipate them like this? i love payday for that too, im always planning what i will pay off before ive even been paid.
i really need a hobby. lol.

morning Louby Lou, this is a great attitude to have, it means you really have control. I am planning change of shifts so i am always off in week days on payday soi can really get a grip. I think i will be looking forward to it too, as soon as i feel confident that I have money left over to "play with".
Money management can be a "hobby", there is a lot to learn and to challenge you. Perhaps i am sad too.unsecured Debts at [strike]August 2007 £79,984[/strike] September £79,579 [STRIKE]Snowballing date July 2013[/STRIKE].

Its far better than shoving them in a box unopened and not looking at the entry on the bank statement for the minimum payment

But yeah I look forward to bills now as concrete proof things will not be this way forever.0 -

I'm a weirdo too, everytime I pay something I feel good, I think when you have been the places in our lives that some of us have been, you never want to go back. I actually look forward to the utility bills now I can pay them, I like to compare with the previous bills and see how much I've saved.Debt Free Dec 2009non-smoker 19th Nov 2010Trying to lose weight 40lb/42lb
