Keeping my morale up ...

I am going to be clearing 2 whole credit cards at the end of this month. After pay day. Card 1 = £300 and card 2 = £650.

I want to close card 2 and use card 1 to improve credit score.

Feel so deflated that I won't 'enjoy' that money .. no going out etc ... :(:(

How do you guys cope?

    Plenty of things to do on the cheap and with no doh to, Ie:- Brew your own drink done cheaply although may take longer than a week or two, Visit some parks and nature resorts, beach, and loads more just look online at free days out/things to do and make sure you have it in safe search you don't want to get offers of dogging and the likes. :)
  • Hi Steve,

    I think I'll just go for walks with my housemate or watch movies + popcorn at home. I'm going to be feeling sorry for myself this month knowing I worked mega hard for a bonus that I won't see :( . Sucks.

    But think about the long term and to be debt free is great although hard at times still better to not owe anything as opposed to living beyond your means.
