2022 and I've decided it's time to start from scratch on MSE.
I've been a previous user for a long time but I am back at square one so closed my old account and started again (same username).
Looking forward to earning my badges again!

My aim for this new diary is the following;
- Be debt free by March 2025
- Have an Emergency Fund (EF)
- Get rid of all credit cards (CC)
- Organise my funds better each month
- Save for expected annual bills
- Shop around for the best deals
- Surveys, surveys, surveys
- Birthdays and Christmas 2022 all purchases either in the sale or paid for by survey earnings
- Remember its a marathon not a sprint
- Pick up good financial habits and stick to them
- Shop for wants and not needs
- Stick to a better budget for groceries and meal plan
- Usual life time struggle of trying to get to goal weight and then staying there
- Be better organised at home with shopping, chores and all that fun stuff
- Stop spending a fortune on toys for the dog
- Enjoy life in between all of this
I'm waiting on my statements being produced on 24th or 25th January before I can sit down and put a proper plan in place.
Can't wait to get my funds in order, will take a while and I am good with that.

Deleted my post as I was too keen and it was in the middle of your place markers!!! But it read...
Just coming over to say hi! I feel like I should have let you write my list of goals as everyone of yours applies to me including "Stop spending a fortune on toys for the dog"!!!!
Debt as at 5 June 2023 - £15,600.89
Current debt - £6,890.00

Honestly the amount I spend on this little furball is ridiculous! He's got tons of toys and needs no more.
Aw thanks for letting me get my posts in there.0
