November 2024 week 5- Winning Wednesdays
Just looked at the challenging comment. Don't think that person had watched the video properly. It can be frustrating to hear you mention holidays when you have debt. But that is because the stress the debt seems to be causing you is enormous. I would love for you to have the opportunity and self permission to say no to somethings for a short time so you can say yes without worrying. If you need to wallow that's fine. There's a great book called SUMO (Shut Up Move On) it has a concept called Hippo Time. You use that time to wallow. Totally understand the desire to go to India for your God Mother and desire to support her this year. But after that could you have a chat with your dearly beloved to reduce your outgoings so that you both can live life to the full. There's a lot of freedom in being debt free.
Thank you, that is great advice and to be fair I normally only have the 1 holiday a year which I had managed to save most of before we booked and the rest is from my challenges which is what I knew I was saving for. I think I was mostly disappointed at the date rather than frustrated and maybe filmed when I shouldn’t because of how I was feeling about other things at the time x
Am I right in thinking you are needing to go into your overdraft less? Noticed the lower overdraft fee :-)
I think so! I am planning on getting rid of it once my credit card is lower x
Don't pay just the minimum. Pay at least half what you were paying to the other debts.
I have managed to pay another hundred off this month due to savings challenges!
Great minis. All filling up nicely there ❤😊
Thank you xx
Can’t believe how fast they are filling up Lisa ❤xx
Slow and steady!
Smashing it Lisa 💪xx
Thank you xx
❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Great video hun x
Thank you xx
Fab video ❤xx
Thank you x
❤ Yes super video
Thank you xxx
Fab video! These coughs do seem to be hanging on a long time. Xx
Other than that I’m not too bad- although had a migraine which wasn’t fun xx
❤ Hi just to let you know I've just watched winning Wednesday not able to comment as TH-cam have put an advert for kids TH-cam and I can't get passed it hope this makes sense
I think I’ve changed it now- thank you for letting me know xx
Hey lisa sweet. Paying 1 debt off at time is best at times 😊 India 🇮🇳 whooo ❤❤
Slow but steady wins the race xx
@dramaticbudgets ahh definitely ❤❤
❤ Watching 😂
Thank you x
I wonder if you intended to title it January 2025? Very clever method for budgeting- nothing like having the paper money to help the spending and saving feel quite concrete, rather than an abstract financial idea. :)
😂 yes, typo from doing it while tired! Need to have actual money to stop me tapping the card!
Fab video Lisa January has been a long month for sure 😂❤
It always is! Although so far not too bad xx
Sorry to hear about your experience last week - absolutely no need for anyone to be like that and hopefully you’ve blocked them now. Fab video 🥰🙌
Hoping they have gone for good, otherwise they will be blocked! Thank you x
loved this you sounded so happy during the dice rolls x
I do enjoy these challenges!
You’re doing a great job with your debt ignore anyone with unhelpful criticism..fantastic video ❤
Thank you x I have much more support than critics thankfully 💋
❤❤❤❤❤
Agree with Katherine above Lisa…keep up the fab work 👏 Great check in xx
Thank you xx
Ignore the critics. You are dealing with your debt and not fraudulent declaring yourself bankrupt.
Thank you x
💗💙💗
Hello Lisa, catching up on this Sunday afternoon. I thought it was a lovely video. Length of video doesn't matter at all ❤
Thank you xx
Watching ❤ 3:09
Thank you x
Constructive idea. Have you thought of treating an extra payment to your credit card as an extra 'bill'? If you can afford £50 each month (without fail) that would be an extra £600 a year on top of your minimum payment. You very successfully managed to pay off a lot of your debt last year when the total of all your payments were more than your one outstanding payment now. x
Thank you x It is definitely one of the things I am looking at when I do my February budget x
Great Video! 👌.
Thank you xx
You are doing great, just keep chipping away at your debt and you will get there. Life is too short not to make memories and you deserve to enjoy life or what is the point. Go on your holidays, date night etc. Cheering you on and wishing you well, you've got this.👏
Thank you, your support means a lot x
How can someone blame the system for their own mistake. The only person who has built up the credit card is you! Only a person with no sense buys on credit. You say you work hard, so pay extra every month. It’s not that hard! And to take holiday money off others is not something to be proud of
Horrible comment, she is trying her best
@@joelizabeth12 obviously she isn’t
@@lisafrench9642 is it really any of your business to make such a judgy comment
@@joelizabeth12 yes. That’s the purpose of the comments babes
Thank you for your opinion. I am aware that I am to blame for my credit card. But it is not always so simple- I do work hard but I live alone and so there is only me to pay all my bills and essentials. I pay extra when I can and if you watch budgeting videos you will know I am not the only one with debt.
You’ve got this Lisa …you’ve done fantastic so far 💪 Have every faith in you Lovely 👏xx
Thank you- your support means a lot x
If the interest rate is high Lisa, could a balance transfer or fixed term loan help you pay it down faster? Also, perhaps income increase (eg vinted sales, overtime etc). I don’t think you have to explain why you need your holidays. That’s a completely valid priority for you. Wishing you all the best ❤️
My credit card it already 0% and I change it when the deal expires. Am going to try and add to side hustles when I can but with family stuff and work I struggle to fit it all in xx
Are you able to transfer to a zero interest credit card? Or at least a card with a lower interest rate?
My card is already 0%, I always change when the deal expires xx
Can i make a polite suggestion... instead of waiting for plum to round up to £100... pay whatever you have as soon as you have it to get the interest down. Even if its only £1 a week... dont give these cards anymore of your money in form of interest ❤
My card is 0% so don’t need to worry about the interest and I like to be able to see a bigger chunk coming off the total x
@dramaticbudgets ahhhh fab... sorry I didn't know it was on a 0% xx
@@indebted.mum.I learnt from not switching from the original card when I was younger and now change regularly x
Good Morning, listening while working.
Thank you and hope your day goes well x
You’ll get there 🌸🌸🌸
Thank you- I will xx
I know you are disappointed but these reflections are very valuable in adjusting the goal because life happens in between and it’s always unpredictable. It’s also worth looking at all the money you have also paid off which is massive achievement through discipline. And that same discipline will get you to the next stage as well. 🦋
Thank you, I am able to look at it from a different point of view today. Positivity!
Life is for living. You are still in a better place than you were ❤❤❤
Definitely!
❤ Im a bit confused did you snowball,I feel your pain but you can do this believe in yourself you do need a holiday you need something to look forward too.Sending positive vibes to you.
No, as I don’t have enough in my sinking funds so tried to use the money spare towards them otherwise I end up using credit card any way x thank you x
Always disappointing when it’s not going as planned - you’re doing great though so keep your chin up and you’ll get there 🥰🥰
Thank you- feel better about it today now I’ve processed it a bit!
❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Dramatic Budgets, I think you could easily pay off more than 3000£ (on top off your minimal payment) in debt this year! Don't give up!😇 🤑💸Maybe it would help you to draw up an annual budget or revisit it: Income: 25200£ House and more: 12000£ (estimate very generous 😋) Food: 2600£ (50£ a week for 52 weeks) Fuel: 2080£ ( 40£ a week) Spending: 1040£ (20 £ every week) Misc: 200£ Remaining amount: 7280£ - than 1000£ ( high priority - car, boiler, em - you have there already some money ❤) 1000£ low prio (beauty, home stuff, shows, other), and 2000£ for holiday ( vacation with partner, india with godmother) - overall minus 4000£. Leaves 3280£ going to debt! Or 275£ a month!🧐 Increase your categories to fit the 52 week - so you dont run in your 5 week month problem. 😵💫 You can do it!😜
Thank you, I am going to work hard to do it, think I was just in shock and feeling sorry for myself!
Sending loads of support ❤😊 It's crazy hard juggling everything but I know you'll figure a way to get rid of the credit card debt ❤ Totally agree you need a holiday. We didn't have one last year and I've felt drained all year! Make those memories ❤ Google said you should declare your TH-cam earnings to HMRC but double check if there is a threshold like there is for ebay and etsy. I don't think there is but it's worth checking 😊 Great video lovely, have a great week xx
Thank you! Will check it out and hopefully feel much better about it all. Think I was just surprised and overthinking everything x
You so right we just focus sometimes in paying the debt we forget to live, and memories as so important also others like our family and partners should be penalised either. Go for the trip and enjoy and I do believe you will pay the debt way before the deadline 😊 you got this ❤
Thank you, it’s sometimes a difficult line to tread but will get there in the end xx
It is a tricky balance , there may be an issue if you do not overpay debt the credit card company may insist on it as they may regard it as persistent debt
Haven't watched whole video yet but I'd definitely change your monthly payment on your credit card to a round figure above the current minimum and that way the minimum payment never goes down & you pay it off quicker while knowing exactly how much you're paying each month. Eg if it's £234 make it £250 (as much as you know you can pay). That plus the extras should get it done sooner. Worked for me.
Will look at that- thank you xx
Hi 👋 here watching and supporting 😊
Thank you, means a lot x
💙
💗
YAY 6 Love 🤣xx
Fab video - number 3 was very lucky lol 😂
Fingers crossed I can finish it soon!
