Hi and welcome,

The first thing you need to do for us nosey beggars is to post up a statement of affairs(soa). You will find help on doing this at the top of the board in a sticky for first time posters by southern scouser. Once that is done we can give you ideas on saving money and making extra.

Hi Scarletx! Welcome to DFW!
This site has helped me save money by showing me how to draw up a budget (basically getting my finances in order so I am in control of them!), how to look for cheaper deals on things like electricity, broadband etc and how to save money food shopping by meal planning. All of this is from reading the articles on this site and reading and posting on the forums.
This site is also great for the support - it lets you know that you are not the only one with debt / no money etc and people find really creative ways to make cutting back into a challenge!!!
Definately post up an SOA so that people can advise you.

On the Debt Free Wannabe forum, the first few threads are marked "sticky". Look for one which says the original poster is Southernscouser - it should be called something like Newbies Read This First.

Actually, it is called "First Time Posters"
