Hey peeps,

I am 32 years old in debt & I am realising now that it is time to sort my life out, become debt free & get on the property ladder.

This will be a long diary, the way things are going at the moment I will be looking to buy a house in the year 2020.

I am going to split my goals up annually & then monthly to make it all more achievable & easier to track.

I can see that a lot of you are also saving up for homes & other things aswell so looking forward to sharing this journey with you all.

1. Pay off some of the debt - DONE

2. Pay for & enjoy Rome (December 2015) - DONE

3. Pay for cruise Brazil-Spain (April 2016) - DONE

Paid off £251.00 of the debt.

We went to Rome & it was the best time ever, such an amazing place. Will definitely go back.

All the money for the cruise is in the savings account so we will head over to the travel agent & PIF in January/February 2016.

So as you can see its going to take time & my goals are pretty much the same each year.

I will add in monthly goals nearer the time & when I work it all out.

I need holidays in my life, need to have something fun to look forward to & don't mind working a wee bit harder for it.

I really wish I had started this at the beginning of the year, my OCD wants to have 12 monthly goals in each year post haha!!
