obsessed

reddick

i have to admit iv become obsessed about becoming debt free! im writing what i spend down, collecting change off the floor, selling on ebay, menu planning and paying over £500 a month off debts with payplan!
dose everyone become like this?:D

workinonit

yep! There is something of a buzz to reducing the debt.

Tixy

Yes!

Well those that become obsessed are usually those that make real inroads into their debt. Its addictive!

Its better than obsessing over new shoes (although I can multi-task and obsess over money saving and new shoes! but shush don't tell anyone on here)

savingmummy

Yes
I found i was constantly checking dates, counting pennies and making sure those figures were coming down! Updating my SOA lol! poor thing was worn out at one stage i`m sure!!
It gets very addictive and i`m sure if noone feels this then they are not ready to be dfw`s.

Yes, I am finding it strangely addictive! It is also giving me a buzz that I am dealing with my debts.

lol I can relate to this too!! I love it all! I love seeing all my newly devised spreadsheets and graphs and can't wait for those figures and lines to start moving............Mmmmmmmmm......that actually sounds a bit sad! :rotfl:

I now really look forward to the credit card bills rolling in - I can't wait to open them and check that their balances match mine

I used to leave them a few days before opening them (if at all)

Thye're hardly coming in this month though - I'll probably have to take out a few more cards , just to get the bils comng in more frequently and watch the debts reducing

Maybe I need to set up a bill a day thread :rotfl:

Oh yes this is perfectly normal Just wait till you feel nervous twitches because you can't check your credit report and online banking because of internet problems... you know it's bad when you contemplate making up a story to tell your neighbours so that you can get their WEP key and connect using their network just to check your bank accounts LOL

You do get obsessed but it's a 'good' obsessed in my opinion better that an obsession saves you money and pays off your debts than the opposite lol, I can't wait to pay my debts lol
