  • I am old. Just turned 37. Can't believe how young you all are! I am a girl. I like being a girl. I have two little cats and a husband. I live in Kent. I work too hard! I love Martin Lewis. He is my hero. I love saving money and budgeting. After years of spending money like its going out of fashion, some mine, some the banks, I now think about every penny I spend and whether they deserve my hard earned cash!

    Hope your day is going better than mine xx

    hey debtfreeby40 ;) just wanted to say its open knowledge my my house that I would leave my oh for Martin - I know it he knows and friends that came for dinner on Sunday now know it as well!

    Well if I didn't feel old this morning, I certainly do now after reading everyone else's ages! :-(

    I'm 39, live in the Midlands. Married with 5 kids and stepkids. Eldest son is at college in London, the other 4 are all at home, along with a dog and assorted fish.
    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done
