  • echoing all the well -wishing and look after yourself. I am sorry this Xmas will be hard at times, hopefully  you can hibernate in the warmth..
    DON'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.

    Came on to wish you well.  Yes, it will be hard at times but you will be awesome as you always are and hibernate when you need.  Sending love 
    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 !!
