The Cheap Life And Desperate Times Of Angelina Wilson

Angelinaxoxo

Desperate times call for desperate measures or so they say

Hello, my name is Angelina. After reading this forum and following so many inspiring stories on here I've decided to document my journey to financial freedom, happiness and good health on here.

I've come to the conclusion I have the most awful luck in England. It appears when things appear to brighten up and life seems to get better. I get chucked 3 steps back.

But still, I have hope for better days! :T

I am about to begin a very new chapter of my life this September and I want to being the MSE debt free family along with me.

I must warn you I'm a big cry baby and can have 'it's the end of the world!!' days where even the smallest things make me want to pull my hair out. Don't mind me! I usually cheer up in an hour or so :rotfl:

Thank you to everyone who has shared their wonderful stories on here and I'm excited to share mine :beer:

Where I am Today

Today I am debt free (FINALLY!) However my credit is very poor. I am 22 years old and i feel I've gone through so much in the past 6 years to last me a life time.

I am well and I'm finally going to try university again :T

I was accepted for a place on course this September and I'm starting afresh

Very interesting to read Angela, i did something like it myself when i started to do my family tree. Some of the stuff i've been writing is probably a bit rubbishy, but i thought if anyone carries on the family tree in 50/100yrs time they may be glad to read what seems hum-drum today.
So i think what you're doing is more suited to a private diary or blog.

The Purpose Of My Diary & My Goals:



I'm very very nervous about leaving work to start university, but I need to do it

I'm so nervous about going from earning money to studying. Will I fall back into debt ?

How will I be able to adjust to my new strict budget ? I currently have a credit card which I pay in full every month to build my credit...can I be trusted with it ?

This diary is to follow all the ups and downs I'll face over the next period of my life, my finances, savings, entering education again and NOT FALLING BACK INTO DEBT!

I need to find a new job or work from home gig from September which fits around my course and take my new DFW lifestyle to university with me!

i'm excited to bring you all along for the ride :beer:

Thanks SailorSam :beer:

I have my own private online diary this diary is just for everything money related and seeing if I can remain frugal and maybe even save while at university!

I really don't want to fall back into debt so I'm hoping I have people who can cheer me on :T

I didn't mean to sound rude, but we're always being told by those in the know that we need to be careful what we reveal on the Internet. You never know who could be reading this and if someone was able to suss-out who the real Angelina is in real life, there's probably some private things you'd rather they didn't know.

I've completely edited out the 'life story' part. Do you think what is left is 'safe' and PG ?

Thanks, I appreciate it, never used forums before! x

Well if you don't find yourself a job and do decide to work from home while you study, there are quite a lot of threads on here where people earn a little extra by writing in their spare time, and after seeing a sample of your writing i think you may do well.
Oh to be 22 again and have an exciting life ahead.

You've been very helpful, I appreciate it.
