Hi, my name is Bobbi and I live in the UK. Basically a few years ago me and my boyfriend got into a bit of financial trouble. You know how it is… People around you encourage you to buy things. “Oh it’s only £150″ and “Let’s go to the pub”. Before you know it you’re nearly £10,000 in debt and wondering how it all happened. We’re really trying to pull in the belt but it’s difficult trying to explain to friends that we can’t go out to the pub or for a meal because we’re so tight on money.
I started this blog just to let go of my feelings and perhaps give advice to those who are looking to deal with their own debt problems. You know, I’m happier now than I was before because I have a complete handle on our finances and we’re no longer just throwing bills in a drawer.
Anyway, I hope that you never have to go through any debt problems yourself because, trust me, it’s just not worth it.
Hi Bobbi,
I think it is great of you to create this blog to share your feelings and give advice based on your experience. I too at one time created a lot of financial struggle for myself. It was all worth it though because similar to you, I have a complete handle on my finances. While it’s not fun to go through that financial stress, I think if people find themselves there, then it is worth it just as long as they learn from their experiences. Most people need to go through those kinds of experiences to wake up and then choose a different way.
Anyway, thank you again for creating this blog.
Sincerely,
Nat
