    @HotDog2020 if those are your only spends then you can call this an NSD - fuel, basic groceries and keys are all essentials. xx :)

    Sunday was my first NSD.
    Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas.

    First NSD of September today (Monday) 😁

    But more importantly, today I paid off my last debt (except for my mortgage) 🤩 I already feel so much lighter being debt-free and am going to keep being more mindful with my money to make sure I don’t fall back into debt. 
    Debt-free journey started August 2023. DF 02/09/2024 🥳

    October 2024 update:
    NSD Challenge 6/15
    MFW 2024 Overpayment: £473.60
    EF £467.75/£1000
