Indebted Dunce's quest to be debt free

12346»

Comments

  • A week before payday, am hoping to pay off £1,250 - £1,300 this month. That will bring the total debt paid off to c£5,500 which isn't great but its not too bad either I guess. I just need to tighten my belts slightly as I am behind my target of being debt free by the end of next year.

    I make it 23 weeks since my last bet. However, a bit of a weird day today, had to overcome just a wee bit of temptation but I think I handled it well. Kept reminding myself about how destructive that single bet generally is. Additionally, in addition to being debt free, I have got a new target to aim towards - house deposit.

  • ID, how things going? Sounds like you doing well?

    I trust you still on the wagon?
