Debt

Britain is in debt, Europe is in even more debt and the American financial markets don't look too healthy either. However, student loan withstanding, I no longer have any personal debt. This means that the transition to a new job and a new city to live with Wolfie is finally complete, which is a significant milestone. I never wanted to get into debt but the cause was greater than the short-term financial pain. Sometimes in life you need to take calculated risks.

Anyway, as of yesterday, I am out of my overdraft, back in the black and with a healthy bank balance for the first time in five months. In essence, I now have money again and no longer need to be looking over my shoulder, provided the employment keeps coming. It's a significant weight off my mind. Now is the time to start living again :-)

Nice work!

Other than a mortgage that I've worked to reduce pretty significantly to date, the only debt I have is on my soon to be installed bathroom, and even that is covered by savings, it's just Santander wanted to give me 15 months interest free on balance transfers. Be daft not to really :)

There's a great deal to be said for living within your means.
