Has anyone managed it? Anyone in their 40's especially?
Somebody asked me today why we dont just get a new car...not in a snotty way but just asking why Im walking to school now.
Truth is in theory we could get a car, but we would have to take a loan out to buy it, our savings are non existent.
Since having Fonzy we have seen our income drop almost year on year and our expenses increase as the kiddos keep on growing!
It may be pie in the sky hoping to live debt free in modern UK? It certainly wont be happening as quickly as I'd like but considering everything I am feeling pretty pleased with how we're doing so far.
That is why we cannot afford to replace the old car straight away. We are saving up, but I would rather put the money to a new sofa {ours is broken, usable but by no means comfy} and a couple of days at the seaside
making memories like these
This week has seen us walking to school in some cruddy weather, not pouring rain but windy wet miserable weather. Today Friday saw me feeling incredibly tired...so I'm starting on some multi vits and my left knee is still protesting so I'm also thinking cod liver oil as well?
Week 2 and Im adjusting, slowly, to the new routine...it helps to know that there are others out there who are juggling nursery/school runs on foot who aren't thrilled with it all either!
