Am I in debt crisis yet?

  • As food is only listed at £100 a month (for at least 2 ppl and a cat) I'd say some of the excess is likely to be going on groceries/toiletries/dinners out.

    There are also things like luxuries, gifts (birthdays/xmas/weddings), and clothing not listed in the SOA.

    Hi Gabriella

    I was in a mess and decided not to tell my other half because of course I could handle it myself (yeah right!)
    Anyway, he found my hidden statements and was furious with me, far more furious than if I'd been honest and up front and explained.
    Just beware that the stress alone of keeping it to yourself, intercepting the post every day and panicking about what the postman will bring is far worse than being out in the open...just a word of warning!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
