Hi
I'm nearing my debt free day:j but I can't help looking back and thinking about things I wasted money on that would have brought my debt free day closer.
1) A mountain of books I havn't read yet:o
2) Clothes I havn't worn:o
3) Mag subs - mostly work mags:o
4) Expensive whitening toothpaste (doesn't work)
5) Driving lesssons & driving test - never been able to afford a car!
6) Cigarettes & Alcohol
What do you wish you hadn't wasted money on? What would have brought your debt free closer?

Lovely make up. And realising that spending £30 on a face cream will not actually make me prettier-I know it in the logical part of my brain, but somehow find myself doing this whenever I have any money left over after paying all the bills 0

DVD's - those stupid 3 for £20 offers when really you only want one of the 3 and just spend the £20 cos it seems like a bargain at the time!
Though I am redeeming myself slightly by selling all the ones I don't want and I haven't bought any in 6 months.* Rainbow baby boy born 9th August 2016 *
