....Just thought I'd bump this thread. Although it was written a while ago, it may give hope to all the newbies and some of us who are having a tough time of it at the moment....

that was an interesting read.. Its amazing how someone can change so much. Do you feel you may have gone to far over to the money saving side now? I mean worrying about going out because you'll spend £10/£20? Surely once your out of debt you can spare £20 quid and enjoy life a little?
I'm not having a go I think what you have done is great, sometimes I feel people get addicted to scrimping and saving and become tight, ungenerous and basically not fun! I think once your out of debt, and have some money saved... You should live a little!
I have a couple of family members that will only drink tap water and only ever go to the £5 buffet. They are not poor, and have cars and sky, and if they can afford to fuel their car they can buy a drink. It really gets on my nerves that they can be so tight... and then expect others to pay for the drinks! I feel there should always be a balance.
Congrats on what you have achieved tho.0 -
