Hi I have just read your diary. Brilliant, well done, what a turn around. You have taken to YNAB so easily.
I wish I could take to YNAB it all seemed a bit complicated to me?
I can see your reasoning for not telling your OH and only you know your situation best but I did just want to add you seem to have done so well juggling all the bills as technically a single person with a child (financially speaking) I know you say the debt is on splurges but that aside you have supported another adult plus yourself and a child and that shouldn't be dismissed.
You also seem very supportive of you OH and his struggles re work so when he does have a couple of little digs re your management of money don't you forget that.
Happy new year and good luck going forward.0 -
Good luck in 2016 - great progress last year, bet you feel more in control too? Fingers crossed for a very good 12 months
