Hi!!
Well not really sure where to begin.... so will try to keep it simple for now and elaborate as time moves on, if anyones interested lol!!
There are two reasons im posting one is obviously for you all to motivate me to save my goal which is 10k by april 2015, the second is a bit of emotional support when i have a wobble
Basically, my marriage ended after 16 years, he had an affair with a customer, we divorced and we sold the marital home split the equity 50/50 joint care of 3 children now 17, 15, 14 and bought my self a house with a 30k mortgage over 20 years, not bad you may think but i only earn 13,100 pa in a school as a T.A so finances have been tough, built up a 5.5k credit card bill and a sofa loan for 1.5k (interest free) Anyway i met my new boyfriend 5 years ago, we took it steady (should have listened to my gut instinct) and we moved into his place about 20 months ago i let my house out for £900 PCM and managed to pay off majority of credit card!! Very happy girl
...... BUT i have found out he lives a very alternative life style, i can not play a part in this and have decided when my house is up for renewal i will have to move back in. I will endevour to save 10 k by april i have 1.2 so far....obs dont earn loads but rent helps any ideas please or just support. thank you
