Hello Dear Reader,
I received this joyous email and asked if I could share it with you. Knowing people are working their way out of debt and towards saving literally has me doing a happy dance.
Here’s what this Dear Reader told me
Hi Jane , loved your blog on takeaway/ wine and entitlement to treats .
This week , despite being in debt, I treated myself several times ! .
Firstly I treated myself to paying my annual car insurance with money from the ” car savings pot” without having to put in on a credit card for the first time in years .
I then spent a lovely chunk of money making the final payment on my final credit card … a couple of months earlier than planned ( I have had a credit card since I was 18), and also splashed out on a mortgage overpayment meaning I have just under a year left to pay till mortgage free .
Next month I plan to treat myself to a shopping day when I buy the ( much reduced) Christmas shopping/ gifts for immediate family only… all from the “Christmas pot” without a plastic card in sight “.
Unfortunately my extravagant treats have meant I will give our works Christmas meal a miss, buy no new outfit for the festive period and limit additional food costs to the one day when all the family are with us for the day…paid for with some eBay sales .
Strangely I don’t feel too deprived !
As promised, no names but isn’t that just such a wonderful email to get and I’m sure you’ll join with me in wishing this Dear Reader all the best for Christmas and a debt free future.
I love it!!!
Flippin’ fantastic news and all the very best to a different way of debt free living xxxxxx
Love Froogs xxxx
