Mr & Mrs P's plan to grow up & be more responsible

angelkez

Hello,

so today I have decided to start this diary to motivate myself and OH to start working on getting rid of the debt mountain we've acumulated and begin to be a bit more responsible about money.

so a little bit about us..

Mrs P - thats me 27 years old, cat lover, obsession with geeky tshirts and DVD box sets

Mr P - 28 years old, game player and proud to be geek

so we've been married 3 years and together for 8 and in that time we've managed to accumulate a nice big mortgage, 2 cats and around £30k of debt, after posting our SOA here the other day we've realised things have got to change so we are starting fresh today and will be doing all we can to chip away at the huge mountain ahead until we can finally be debt free

anyway thanks for reading and please feel free to chip in with suggestions or a good telling of when we've been bad to keep us on the straight and narrow

Hi Mrs P and welcome to diary land

If you've already posted your SOA / had comments on it - maybe add a link to that thread & you might get some more suggestions.

Wishing you the best on your DF journey:)

thank you Robin

so i have started a spending diary and being super conscious of every penny. We've also decided to traverse the ebay waters and begun to try to sell some of the stuff we have cluttering up the house which may be worth some money

I'll be updating how we've got on soon
