Millionaire in training has a new name

29 Posts


Hi folks. I haven't been on here in a long time. I can't even get in to the account I was using most recently. So I am going to look at this as a fresh start and get my life in order once and for all. I'm a single 54 yr old female. I have two grown up children who still live at home but both wanting to get their own places. I don't have debts except for credit cards, my car and my mortgage. However cc is at £23,674.36. None of this is on a reduced rate. The highest interest rate is 22.93% and lowest is 18.2%. I don't have a massive amount of spare cash as I am paying almost £550 per month to service the minimum payments. I do however have a decent job and was recently promoted which has brought in some extra money. It has also resulted in £135 per month travel expenses so it's not all good.
I'm also still a fat git. I have been doing the Cambridge diet and that has been pretty successful for me ( when I stick to it) . I had lost 4 stones but have put a few lbs back on and now at 2 stones and 9lbs lost. Very annoying. A combination of Christmas, an all inclusive holiday and now social distancing. I have paid the £134 for my month's supplies yesterday though so I need to sort myself out and get on track. Need to figure out how to get out and pick my stuff up though.
I see this thread as my vow to myself that I am going to sort things out. Wish me luck !!
