“Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them, but none are fun when you set about retiring them.”
-Ogden Nash
I have been living a life of not taking on the consequences of my actions and sadly my bank account has taken a hiding.
At one point I had a decent saving but I am now in debt of c.£17k - its strange to think that a man that has hit 30 does just not realise the debt he is in.....
Liabilities
Cards £10k
Loan £6.7K
Assets
Shares £6k (from 12k - its been a tough year)
Total 10.7k

Goals of this diary:
* To become DF by end of 2013- there is a good chance I will reach this point sooner but I will be gutted by any later
* Weigh 82 kg from 100kg
* Completre a sub 2:30 Olympic triathlon
* Post every day how much I have spent for the day and why - so I am accountable to myself
* Track all my bad eating habits
* Track my exercise habits“Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them, but none are fun when you set about retiring them.”

£10 spent on the last 2 days, always promising.
Looking forward to the balance transfer and consolidation of my credit card debt into one card at an interest free rate.
Holiday in 2 weeks and a good mates wedding should be fun“Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them, but none are fun when you set about retiring them.”

Work Christmas function meant little change out of £50 - had been so good this week spending £5 a day. Tonight is winter wonderland and 30th birthday and a farewell... also playing squash so again looks like an expensive one... SOA to be posted later on - although not sure of my current salary after revised benefits“Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them, but none are fun when you set about retiring them.”

Definitely need to get a daily buget tool on my phone to track my expenses as again last night I am lost track of my spending - This morning I realised it was £45 so during the week I spent £20 on lunches and £20 on travel now £100 on the weekend.
My balance debt is on one card so I get to close down my other cards and apply for a card that will actually benefit my by air miles etc - looking forward to it“Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them, but none are fun when you set about retiring them.”
