  • Hello everyone, hope all is going well with the members of SAD :D

    Well, I got news which will mean I will no longer be a member of SAD, one is I am debt free as of today :j:j
    The other is I have met a few months back a nice man and we are giving it a go :D

    So although not technically a SAD anymore, I still would like to post at times for support if that's ok? :)

    Your post has made me think ..... technically I am DF (savings + budgeting pots would clear the OD if I chose to do so) but I don't think of it like that as it's money set aside for specific budgeting things.....

    Can I stay too please:D

    I THINK i might potentially have met someone too - really wasnt expecting that...for now, still technically a SAD tho, which at the moment, doesnt seem so bad! Wondering if i might be able to ditch the single status AND become debt free at the same time! :j

  • Grrr....I have a friend (in a couple) who about 3 weeks ago decided they want to buy a house totally out of the blue, has today had an offer accepted. Is it awful that I really can't be happy for them?

    Feels like a great big kick in the teeth cause it's what I want more than anything and I've been looking for ages, but because I'm single the only places I can afford are in my budget for a reason, subsidence, next to a crack den, been flooded 5 billion times, actually just a shed :mad:.

    Boo, I'm going to go and drown my sorrows in a large glass of wine :( being single really sucks sometimes.
  • Just been reading through this thread with interest and dipping my toe in the MSE water... Lovewealthhappiness - that does sound like a kicker, a night of wine and feeling blue is necessary sometimes - as long as you get up tomorrow and shake it off and get back to being positive about your own journey.

    Hello everyone else,

    Can i join - i am SAD (but actually quite happy about it :D) I am finally divorced and trying to get out of debt and save up enough to go travelling round the world. Well now i ain't got anyone else to worry about (bar the dog) i realise it was what i wanted to do! My debts are not major anymore (been working on it for the last few years). But i still have £1k to go and then i need to save save save, so these boards are excellent inspiration.
