Fri 12th Feb - What Small DFW have you done today?!

Triangle

When we start out on the DFW trail we do loads of "big stuff" that makes quite a difference to our situation. These include having our lightbulb moment, cutting up the credit cards and cancelling Sky and the gym.

But once we have done the bigger stuff, we often feel that we are not making the same amount of progress, when in fact the small steps are helping us form good financial habits and helping us get closer everyday to staying in control and becoming debt free, or staying debt free

Examples could be charging your phone up at work instead of at home to save your electricity, hanging washing out instead of using the tumble dryer or leaving your purse/wallet at home to avoid the risk of spending.

So be proud of those small steps, they really are important! :j:j:j


Good morning everyone :hello:

A ridiciously early start for me as you can see so I thought I would start the thread off.
Hope eveyone is happy and well - Friday! - have a good day x

My list:

• Back to uni day today
• Drive carefully
• Am driving a friend in - she normally gives me a couple of quid for doing this
• Making packed lunch
• Having a night with uni friends tonight :jHaving some drinks afterwards and then staying at a friends
• Spend no more than £20
• Bus back to friends later rather than taxi
• Have done shopping list and meal plan for next week

That's it for me
Lots of love
Tx
