    If you really need a lottery fix, why not try the Irish lottery? Me and mum both play. She has quite a complicated system for hers, but if you put say a pound on one number in the Saturday draw, you win about £7! I find my winnings envelope gets full pretty quickly :) (oh, and if you do three numbers, you get a couple of hundred!)

    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up; always try just one more time
  • Getting out of debt cannot occur all of a sudden of course.:confused:...yeah, the ideas of cutting down your monthly expenses for magazines will definitely be a good idea... Actually when we start thinking of cutting our budgets, we will not come up with any result instantaneously...:mad:....So we should try first to change our current lifestyles, provided it is adding up to the debts already we are in...

    I have cut down watching movies in theaters..Instead my husband and me arrange the dvds at home and enjoy movies with good dinner..An outing every week includes costs of movie tickets and as well as dinner and other expenses..Again, reusing of dvds from your friends will also be wise...We never realize that these minor expenses sums up at the end of the month and compells to face the various debts...Hope this helps:D...

    Any other ways?? I want to get rid of the debts as soon as posssible..My husband and me are planning for our first baby:D...So things should be sorted out before that;)...

    Chris/Nancy and any other new members of the Debtfree wannabe forum - suggest you look at the old style moneysaving forum for how to make your money go further. If you want further advice or ideas, go to the forums homepage and find out how to do a new post - that way you can go into detail about your own specific debt issues and people on here will be able to help you.
