Hi to all!!!
Yesterday after finding out my car needed a very expensive repair, I looked into getting a loan to consolidate debt and get a new car. But the cost is ridiculous now that the banks are trying to get the public to pay for their mistakes. We were wondering how could we find another £50 per month for a small loan to pay for the repair and via MSE fund the Demotivator Tool.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: We couldn't believe we spending £2080 per year on eating out/takeaways, £1000 on lunch at work and £700 on alcohol (sitting in on fri/sat nights).
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, anyone who has not used this tool do it now!!!
We are throwing away £315 per month, which is a disgrace. And even if we treat ourselves once a month we will still save approx £250 per month.
Hopefully this post will make others realise the same mistakes we had taken for granted, cos when you see it in print from the Demotivator Tool, it really is a kick in the butt.
Good Luck to all.
