Slightly off the wagon

Did well getting debt free and saving hard then was hit by the long stretch between Xmas payday and end of jan payday and have been paying for it ever since.

I have also noticed a definite correlation between writing on here and doing well money wise and ignoring the website and slipping back down that slippery slope.

So frustrated with myself as I was doing so well and my savings were moving fast but now it's all slowed I don't think I will save for my house deposit by the end of the year like I was hoping. :(

Moral of the story.... Keep on MSE! :money:
