As I said in the title I apologise if I have put this in the wrong topic.
Last year was a particularly difficult year for us as a couple and lots of things went wrong. This year has been hard as we have had much less money coming in and it has taken us a while to adapt. The result of this is we have some big credit card debts from last year and this.
In Sept we decided to basically stop spending on anything non essential and we agreed a loan to pay off our credit card debts so the monthly repayment was much more manageable. Last week the loan was finalised and I paid off the credit cards with a view to closing the accounts apart from one emergency card (mine)
I have shown dh our budget, what we have coming in and going out and how much to spare we have ( zero til next month when I start work)
Today dh has gone to see some friends for the day (using his monthly travel card so already paid for) and I click on our ebay account to check where we were up to. There on the purchase list is a drill. Sold for over £200. Dh has bought it.
I am just so stunned right now. I honestly thought we understood how much shit we are in financially and that we need to get a grip. Seems it is just me that thinks that.
Don't know where to go from here.
