I wanna be debt free... But not that much!

Is there somehing that you just refuse to do even if you know it will help in your goal to be debt free?

My mum has offered me my old room rent free, but if I did that there would be murder and I would probably drink myself silly everyday to drown her out.

Am I the only one out here like this?
Getting there... A deal at a time. :T

    Nope! I moved out of home a few months ago despite the extra expense. I decided that no-one was going to service my debt while I was serving 20 years for double murder so really I'm saving money!

    Its a tough one! I did consider moving home & commuting for a while but things didnt get bad enough! I love my mum to bits (& she me!) but I havent lived at home since I was 6 & think we would drive each other nuts!! Depends how bad the debt is I guess!!

    Personally if the debt was getting to me i would yes! Its a very good kindhearted offer but you know what yoiu want and thats freedom in life, but wouldn't that be so much nicer if that freedom was also debt free?? She is your mum afterall.
    You can touch the dust but please don't write in it !

    Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?
