Hi all,
Well I haven't been on for a while, but had to come and tell you, I am now officially a stoozer rather that in debt. :beer: In fact for the first time in what feels like forever I could pay of my (0%) credit card with my savings and still have some actual savings left! Shere hard work is the only way I've done it, but now I'm on a mission to actually pay off the credit card without touching my savings, though I'm going to loosen the budget slightly. I'm going to rework the budget and certainly not going back to wasting money, nor buying things I can't afford. I'm also not going to celebrate too much until i can officially cut up the credit card whilst keeping my savings entact. I know some of you will ownder why I don't just pay it off, but hey the day I start being charged interest I will, in the meantime why shouldn't I make the most of the 0% advantages. :j
Just wanted to say thank you to this board, I would not have been here withou you all. I will keep popping back to post/lurk as I don't ever want o go back to spending more than I should.
Hope everyone is ok, would be great to hear from the old regulars as to how your all doing?
