Get yourself a pig!

snoozer

Just went over to the Mortgage free Wannabe site, they've got a great sticky on getting a mortgage free wannabe pig - would be just as applicable to debt free wannabes - take a look. Sorry don't know how to do a link & also if anyone else has mentioned it here and I've missed it.

Glad you liked the thread snoozer.

You're right, you can apply the principle to anything - doesn't have to be your mortgage.

I have a piggy bank, kids keep spending the money. Then again so does OH and me. Ok we are hopeless.

I loved this idea well done Ali (read your thread and loved your piggy) and yes I will be hunting for my very own extremely LARGE pot for people to fill

Saw the thread on the mortgage pages yesterday and thought it was a brilliant idea. Less easy to get the coins out of than a smartie tube (I have no willpower!).

In the early days of having a pig......I found it necessary to stick a large piece of brown sticky tape over the stopper you remove to get the money out. I wrote on it " STOP! Do you really want to do this! Remember you can be mortgage free soon."

So I sympathise with the no will power bit. It's surprising how it comes though, I'd rather chop my hand off now before I'd take out the pig.

What a fantastic idea!!!!! I have just found my piggy. He was under a pile of clothes on the side in our bedroom, (with his back to us :rotfl: shunned by my own pig!)......poor thing. All he has inside him in my old ring (didn't want to lose it, so put it somewhere safe)

Need to think of a name for him!!!!
