how about career - books around topic you're interested in, research on the ole tinternet, see if you can do some voluntary work (a day or two) somewhere you'd be interested in working, seeing if you can spend some time with someone who is doing what you'd like to do so you can get some mentoring out of them - its about lateral thinking lovely, education doesn't have to cost anything 
contribution as above a bit of volunatry work, helping someone who needs a helping hand - its your interpretation.
and money well you're already working on that! x
Ah, a true inspiration
I was thinking of volunteer work but not too sure where to start, or where I'd find the time at the moment as there is so much to do, is there any sort of "minimum" volunteer time per week or anything? :idea:Debt at July 2012: £12,862.57 :eek:

Morning All,
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.
