With the cost of living crisis being what it is recovering gamblers can find it harder than others to stay stopped whilst managing your debt and also living month to month and recovering from the damage caused.
Many of us have big mobile phone contracts, sky packages, gym memberships, high car finance.
In the last 17 months I decided to go through my spreadsheet and reduce as much as possible any contracts, memberships and subscriptions.
I got a a phone subscription for £8.00 a month when my £45.00 contract ended in feb, I also got a new number as a way of starting over.
I paid my car of on finance and did a part ex on another car with no finance to pay. My car is a megane and I only pay £20.00 tax per year rather than the £190.
I got the cheapest sports package I could find with sky and avoided getting the movies. I bought some cheap gym equipment and cancelled by gym membership.Â
I have no Credit Cards or Overdraft anymore, my monthly bills are all very low including my gas and electric.Â
If you can seek the cheapest deals and compare.
