Thinking about needs oppose to wants is something I've thought hard about this past month. I need the best part of £40000 to buy a houseboat (only affordable way to move out when you're young IMO) So i've gone from being materialistic and having best of everything to about 5 sets of clothes and a laptop!
So far i've cancelled my PlayStation subscription, sold my PS4 and it's games ( i wasted so many hours on that thing, its all hours i could have done extra work for money) I am in the process of selling my Blu rays. I don't need them as i have netflix. Im going to not re contract my phone when this contracts up, i'll just go on a cheap£10 a month on instead of the £42 im currently paying.
I cancelled my gym and the money i'm saving from that is going to go on a new fold up bike!!
When you sit back and think what do i actually NEED. it's very little!
My parents want to get rid of sky!! They pay £40 a month to sit there and complain that threes nothing on TV, especially as now top gears gone
Congrats on your saving from SKY!! :T
Love this. Me and my hubby have stripped away a lot of 'wants' inc the TV liscence itself (only watch catch up TV anyway). We just can't justify a lot of things like TV, gym etc when we're in debt. I now need to try using that time to make some extra money instead!LBM Sept 2012 ~£44 Sept 15: £~5233

they are changing the law, is that the right word? they want to start charging everyone now who watches any kind of tv, including catch up, did a survey twice on it now.

I think they should just scrap the fee and I said that in both surveys.0 -
