I had a wonderful and relaxing brekky in bed made with love by Richie and Coco. Followed by a movie morning with Coco. Lots of mummy and daughter cuddles 🥰 while we chatted on Messenger to my mum in NZ. Now Saxon (who had to work this morning) is driving the whole family to see Nanna. Having a lovely lovely day :-) Happy Mothers Day to all the beautiful Mums here. Hope you got a nice rest today!!!!

You may have noticed on Wife Swap that Coco has a super bright pink school bag. This bag is such a daily lifesaver! Even with my poor eyesight I can still spot Coco miles away from my car, due to her super bright backpack. It's great! If your child's school allows another colour for a bag, I highly recommend this!

The people who know me personally know our family certainly know how to have fun and a laugh. For those who still need convincing Coco and I are attempting our first ever 'Yes Day' in the name of injecting more fun into this Saturday. Admittedly, I'm worried. But, I am sure it will be so much fun. I can't wait to see what happens. We've done coin-flipping unplanned adventures in the past, but this may take that idea to a whole new level!!!! I'm excited!

One of the most important skills I've learned to master in life is visualisation. I've have used this hack for most of my life. The thing is, your most powerful asset is your subconscious mind. Once you have put yourself in a picture life this, your subconscious mind continues to set those images in your brain behind the scenes as you go about daily businesss. Try this. It works! Eventually, your brain works at getting you what you want without you doing much else. You can't unsee a positive picture you've created of yourself. These images will eventually stamp out the negative images you may have. I hope this works for you in terms of feeling more empowered every day.

If you have a lot of transactions but you are super busy and don't have time to go through each one, this is the fastest way to stop the madness until you get time to sit down and go through them. You will likely receive an email about the decline. You can catch each one and deal with them as they come through. I hope this helps you find some extra cash fast. Subscriptions have a way of creeping up on all of us!

After we cut up our credit cards we vowed never to get one again and we never did. If you can’t afford to buy it now. Wait. Find it second hand. Go without it. If you pay for it with a credit card you’ll be paying much more for it. Ask yourself? Is it worth the future financial pain?

We were once $50k in debt. We moved to a remote area away from all distractions such as partying friends and expensive city lifestyles. We spent a year completely focused on clearing debt. We worked every day and came home every night, reducing our debt until all the debt was gone. It wasn't what we were making that helped us clear that debt. It was what we weren't spending. We cut up credit cards and improved our credit score by paying bills on time etc. After that we saved a home deposit for a cheap country duplex property. Two cottages on one title.
We then built equity in the home by renovating it out of our wages, while we enjoyed a simple country life. We also continued to work full-time to pay down the loan while our kids were young. After that we rented out that property (rents were high in an area where there was big demand for rentals). We moved back closer to the city, to a regional area close to the beach and with a train line to the city. We used the country property to buy a large home on a double block in a growing area. We renovated that property using the same method as above. Building equity through wages. My husband learned valuable trade skills so we could do everything ourselves. I got good at researching supplies for the renovation. After some time, the duplex property started to pay off both our mortgages. We became essentially mortgage-free while still living in the home we were living in. We purchased both properties in areas which were either tourist towns, or had industry or growing infrastructure. More to come. What's your get out of debt story? Or hacks and tips you can share with others. #debtfreecommunity #debtfreejourney #debt #budgeting #savinghacks #debtfreedom #frugal #frugallife #debtfreecommunityuk #getoutofdebt #savingsroom #thepetersens #petersenfamily #broke #savingsroomblog #savings #piggybank #debtjourney
