This does work. Dont doubt peoples advise

Hi

I came on here some months back with dire financial problems. I follwoed a lot of advis eon here , looked at thousands of posts and am now starting to feel the benfit of taling to creditors.

Ok , my credit rating is shot to pieces , but I dont wnat credit anymore or ever again.
Anyhow , the advise on budgetting has shown itself to work very well , I have an MOT on Tuesday , and will also need two CV joints replaced. I actually have , for the first time in years , that strange thing called cash to pay for it.

So on wednesday , i will have a car that is fixed , and it hasnt actually increased my debt to do it.

So stick to your plans and eventually you will see the benefits of following advise.

    50k milestone is way off , but at the monet , its a life style thing. I am sleeping bette r, I work better as I dont worry , I look beyond the figures.

    For example , my main job is 2000 a year less then one I was offered , but they pay my train fare , can work form home occassionaly , and got a company vehicle for other duties , so a lot less fuel.
