This is my first post, my aim is to be Debt Free in order to retire early,due to a combination of ill health and wanting to spend time with family. So today I will do a budget, this will be difficult as at the moment I have two daughters getting married next year and money is just running away like water.
A quick calculation I think I have 12000 in debt between one thing and another but full breakdown will follow. Going to try to have As many NSDs as possible. So here's to a new start :j

Hi RTR, well done for posting. I too have had the realisation that I need to tackle my debt mountain in order to be able to retire before I get too old to enjoy it. Time definitely feels like it's racing on! I'll subscribe and we can hopefully support each other along the way.
Good luck with the weddings!Feb 2014 to now
