The 'I want it NOW!!' debt/savings thread

moneymabel · 8 August 2008 at 9:28PM

This is a thread for all you impatient people out there-whether it's a debt you want to pay off quickly or something you want to save up for but can't possibly wait another minute for!
Theres not a specific challenge, just pop in and have a chat about what you are doing to make that extra cash, put your target in your sig and hopefully we can help each other to get where we want to be NOW!!

Hi angelflower!-good luck with all your wants!! It helps me if i have something specific to focus on after i have finished debt paying so thought it might help others. :-)

Hi Jen-welcome to our second home ;-)

We really want to get on the property ladder but it'll take a while to save up and get rid of the existing debt at the same... so I have opened up a cash isa account in my name to save all the odd amounts in which will keep me focused to find more ways to raising money to get the debt down and boost the deposit fund!

I really like these types of threads! Been on the forums the whole night...

oooh, I thought Dale would get further. Not that I have been watching it LOL.

I didnt have my Betfair track either but received stuff in the post from them yesterday which went straight into the recycling. Cheesed off about that.

Yeah, Hayley....I am on this site for hours and hours at a time. I just think if I am on here....I am not out spending! Shame I dont actually get much done tho.
