We need to save money for something specific coming up Jan 2023 and we have debts which we really just want gone now.. I would happily sit at home for the next 6 months and do nothing unless it's things for/with the DC. No going ''out out'' with my friends and instead only going to friends houses with a cheap bottle of wine and then walk home or get a lift to avoid cab fares. But that just isn't doable. I cannot say to friends that I will not be going 'out out' for 6 months so do not invite me and then in 6 months time expect to reappear on the social scene again. I have several friends who rely on me to go out with them and socialise. These are single friends for whom socialising is really important to them.
We are not in financial difficultly so that is not an excuse to not go out out for 6 months. We just want these debts gone. We were fortunate to work through lockdown and save £4k, the only time we have managed to save. I need to save that again but twice over.
