Your DFW New Year's Resolutions!

What are they?

Anything can be DFW! Giving up chocolate? DFW! Getting fitter? DFW! Whatever it is, we can spin it so you're saving money! :D

So, come on! Post them up here!

Mine will be to actually make something of myself this year instead of just coasting along (mini-LBM!). Taking full charge of my life and debts, instead of just minimum'ing and being done with it!!
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

    1. regularly update 'money' on my comp to give a complete overview of finances at any time.
    2. complete monthly make £10 a day challenges
    3. Run DMP in an effective manner which is fair to everyone
    4. visually see debt decrease through additional effort
    5. find (and enjoy) employment
    6. commit to MSE
    7. have as many NSD's as is possible in every week (aim 4)
