When we start out on the Debt-Free Wannabe trail we do loads of big "stuff" that makes quite a difference to our situation. These include having our lightbulb moment, cutting up the credit cards and cancelling Sky and the Gym.
But once we have done the bigger stuff, we often feel that we are not making the same amount of progress, when in fact the small steps are helping us form good financial habits and helping us get closer everyday to staying in control and becoming debt free, or staying debt free...
Examples could be hanging washing out instead of using the tumble dryer or leaving your purse/wallet at home to avoid the risk of spending. :money:

Managed to get some Lego for a friends child's birthday, 20% off in Sainsburys. Lego is so dear that I was sort of dreading trying to find a set that wasn't too tiny! Would have bought it anyway as that was the preferred present so am happy to have saved a bit on it.0
