Hope the SO gets better soon and you can focus on your happiness and life goalsDON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

and how is plops?Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!3 -
Lovely to see YOU!greent said:Al - so lovely to see you - I was literally looking at your diary the other day and wondering what you were up to. I'm so sorry to hear that life has thrown you another curveball.
How are the children? And the guinea pigs and dog(s)?
Kids are great thanks and piggies have grown in number though we lost the last of the originals (she was almost seven) and we now have three doggles🤣6 -

Hysterical! Nearly 17 in rude health (touch wood) and pushing BigOrse round the field like a lawnmower. She's in pony bootcamp right now.Watty1 said:and how is plops?5 -
So my conundrum. Have to decide by Tues so no pressure.
In previous job started 3 year part time vocational academic course.
Half way through suspended it, family chaos. Suspended again more family chaos. Suspended once more, no further option to suspend, have to start this term or give up.
Pros - would complete it and if I pass have the qual. It would mean a few nice weekends away with nice people in a nice place. It carries a decent chunk of prestige. A bit of a pose! If I pass it would help me prove something to myself.
Cons - it would be another financial demand as have to fund travel and accommondation myself. It would be another demand. It would need me to organise going back into school to do research. It is no longer relevant to my career (changed careers).
Helllppp! I change my mind depending on how strong I feel.

The key words in that for me are 'no longer relevant' so you have to have a pretty strong personal motivation to complete it, especially as your life still sounds busy.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

Sorry to hear life is still complicated. I think on the qualification front, redo has hit the nail on the head. How much do you want to do this?7
