Snug & Sorted: Our Race to Mortgage Freedom
Comments

I remember that feeling of a little part of me becoming a total hedonist - the bit that was in awed wonder that I could eat whatever I wanted for dinner for two solid weeks after running away from my sociopathic ex … 😉 It’s a good feeling and will give you the forward impetus you need 😊

Oh I'm glad you genuinely are happy about the divorce ☺️ I was too about mine. I didn't realise how small I'd made myself to fit in with my ex and to please him (never worked anyway he just changed the goal posts more). I loved decorating in pink as I'd been told I couldn't, I loved eating what I wanted, paying the bills how I liked and spending my money on what I wanted with no one questioning it. Enjoy your freedom and it's not hedonistic it's gaining back YOU ☺️. You should try making a list of all the things you want in your new home and stick them on a vision board to manifest them quicker 😁👏🏻.Emergency Fund goal - £717.77/1500
