Maybe I was born with it?

Options
Somedays thats how I feel... I was born to be in debt!

I have struggled my entire life my parents struggled maybe its genetic.

Well if you asked me a year ago that was my thoughts and today I wake up knowing that NO its MY fault and its time to take action!!


So far my and my partner owe:

3K - HBOS
5,200- MBNA
8700, lloyds tsb


I feel lost and sometimes I look at those numbers and think OMG what am I going to do!!

We want the world and can't afford a penny!!

Today however me and my bestfriend Samantha are going to an auction we are playing our own lil Cash in the attic!

I have gone through all my stuff and moms stuff now that she has moved away and its time to declutter the clutter!

So here is hoping!! I hope to make 400.00 pounds today.
Ooooh we are half way there... Woooahhh ohhhh living on a prayer

  • Hi Maybelline

    Well done on realising your debt problems are NOT your fault!!

    My ex left me a few years ago with a lot more debt than you have and now I'm debtfree so there is light at the end off the tunnel.

    Congrats on your first sale - I bet it's alot more exciting than ebay!!
