Short term borrowing advice

If you have to take out pay day loans, then you don't have enough money to be able to spend any of it on entertainment for the time being. You need to get your priorities right and not spend anything on entertainment for the time it takes you to get rid of the pay day loan at least.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -
Do you have to travel far to get to work?
I'm willing to bet that a single person can survive off £100 for a month.
I'm off on a stag do next Friday and to justify going, I promised myself I'd save double what I needed to spend on my flights, hotel and spending money so that I knew I wasn't leaving myself short.
To get to that target I've survived (after rent/bills) on £40/week for the last 6 weeks, that's a bit more than you, admittedly, but give it a go!!!From £8,800 to £2,200 in 2 years.
Nearly there, just the 0% credit card to go!0
