Weekend release- I am inspirational because....

MCBIRNIE25

I am inspirational because :-
1) I have had the motivation to reclaim near 5 grand in charges from different organisations
2) Cut my debt to under 10k.
3) Realised that through this board, there is inspiration and a friendly ear whenever needed.
4) My proudest one-Had a motion passed through national conference persuading my union (PCS) to set up a credit union for all members. This was passed unanaimously, and should hopefully help other people with their monetary habits.
5) Represented 6 people in work this week, and won 5, with only 1 person getting a written warning, this was a victory of sorts as they expected dismissal.

Have a fab weekend.

I am inspirational because....

With very little income and two properties to run, I have put things in place so that one property pays for itself.
With very little income, we are debt-and mortgage-free.

2 euro saver jar (started 15/6/06) now contains 6 euros!

I am inspirational because............... i've finally woken up to my self inflicted debt situation and have cut my home insurance (and got £50 in the process), scored £50 for doing nothing but finding some euros, have paid off whacking great gas bill (£1,200) and am now looking for new job with better money!

Plus I've learnt how to cope with my depression better over the past three months and I think it's getting better...........:S

I mowed the lawn this morning saving me from having to find the dog.
Plus have spent less this week than last..

I am inspirational because I have taken control of my finances and consolidated into a personal loan (as I couldn't get an interest free balance transfer - I did lots of research!) Now I have cleared and cancelled 2 credit cards, my store card and overdraft and feel very proud that I am no longer in a mess with my finances which were REALLY getting me down. Have changed all direct debits to first of the month, cancelled a long un-used gym membership after doing the race for life and realising that running outside is free (DUH!) and plan to set up a standing order into my isa which will hopefully mean I can pay the loan back quicker!

I've also bagged some great freebies, am taking lunch to work everyday and depositing £4 inot my lunch pig daily for a rainy day! In actual fact, I took £50 of rainy day money to the bank in the week and paid into my ISA as well. Have alos sorted a great load of clothers, shoes, books and DVDs out for selling on ebay and hope to through that at high interest savings too! HURRAH! I feel very proud to have taken some positive steps which have made me feel so much better and vow to always think before buying in the future!

Brilliant!
I am inspirational because:
I have transferred all my debts to 0% credit instead of 16.9% APR,
I have paid off nearly £1,000 since the middle of last month,
I will still be in credit in my current account when I get paid again in 10 days time.
I am in control for the first time in my life.
Sig update coming soon......

I am inspirational because...

I'm slowly turning the corner from being a MFW (money-free wannabe) to a DFW. Every day I'm getting just that little bit tighter - and this is the first month this year where my income has exceeded my outgoings.

Thank you Lynz, lovely thread. I am feeling inspirational today as I am getting back in control of my finances. Have lapsed a bit lately, but feel ready to go again, but not going to push myself too hard. If it takes 2 years then so be it.

I also have a job interview on Friday which is great. I have only applied for 2 jobs and got an interview for one already. So things are looking up.

Only 8 weeks until I am made redundant and go on holiday, but I am looking forward to a change and a new direction.
