How has this board changed your life?

Just thought I would see how much people have been helped by sharing experiences or getting encouragement from like minded individuals.

Personally I am now far more determined to be debt free, I have a budget that works and know exactly what is going on with all of my bank a/c, c/cards and loans.

Me too, I love this board so much I would marry it if I could!! I love reading about the experiences people have gone through and although I only have a 'small' debt compared to many (less than £2000) the inspiration I have found is marvellous, I'd just like to thank everyone who has motivated and inspired me!:T

I dread to think how much worse off i would be if it wasnt for this board. I would have carried on using my CC and probably would have racked up £15k now instead of £10k.

Although, I dont think I would have as many arguments with my OH about money (he doesnt get it and is still racking up debt - where they will let him!) so we argue day and night about it!

I have never come across another website that could change my life so much! It's amazing! For the first time in my life I feel motivated to do something and I have stuck at it! I have never had this much determination before.
Also, since coming here and learning all about debt and other financial products, I am going to start to train to become a financial advisor in the new year as I find it all fascinating and like the idea of helping people with their cash for a living! So if I am successful, this site will be partly responsible for me changing my career and earning a fat wedge

It's not so much that this site has helped me get debt-free, but that this site has given me great tools for avoiding bad debt in the future. The money saving tips have helped me do a proper realistic budget that should avoid me reaching for the credit card in future.

Most importantly, the community spirit here has helped to motivate and inspire me.

I almost see money saving as a new hobby of mine and one which I am thoroughly enjoying.

Um its the change this board *stopped* that I love I had rent arreers of 2500 when I came here and was about to get evicted. I now have the arreers down below the 2000 mark, the rest of my debt has either started going down, or at least stopped going up, and I still live in my flat

I have to say this site has been the kick up the a**e i needed to get myself sorted ! and I know that with the assistance of everyone I can bring my DFD closer and beyond that I can be responsible with my cash and not get into this kind of situation again !!!

form me it has been learning all the bank/cc sneaky tricks and being more aware of money etc.

and having somewhere to come to for advice on everything - not just money, its like having a big group of friends I can come to with all my problems - and you guys are great!!

Really getting interested in moneysaving, and this board particularly, caused a big change in my life, money wise and in other ways. I was in relatively little debt (just under £2000) but I soon managed to clear that by adopting dfw ways! I now only have my student loan to pay, not urgently of course, and am using my new skills to budget and make sure I'm living within my means.

And I love the community feeling... its addictive!
