We’re now entering the ‘payday doldrums’, where it seems the previous payday was ages ago, but the upcoming payday is so far away, It used to be that I was looking forward to payday because that’s when I could recommence spending again. Then it became about when I could pay the next lump off my debt and see the numbers go down. When it becomes about seeing the numbers (in savings) go up, that’s when the real fun begins.Tezzadp said:No money spent today

I can relate to that. i feel like payday was agggggeeesss ago and the next payday is years away. it takes forever for the next payday to arrive but i love the feeling of paying a lump sum off at the end of the month and looking at the figures come down on the debts i owe, i just wish it would come around quicker haha. cant wait until its all paid then it will be money building up like you say instead of debts being paid.VAP_Driver said:
