Last night as a family we made a financial decision which meant getting a four figure loan, the loan makes financial sense as a family for many reasons, within 5 minutes we had the loan and the money where it was meant to.

The scary thought was how quick it was to get the loan and move the money to where it needed to go, what if I wasn't in a better place, years ago I'd have done anything to get my hands on that amount, but it would have gone to the wrong place very quick. 

I'm glad I'm at a point where I can think like this about money and realise what could have been and the issues it could of caused.

Wishing everyone well

It’s nice to see some reflection brownie. We normally see a sad disastrous start of a journey but it’s nice to see some one on the up in the right way in the right place. Don’t get complacent and understand it’s a life long addiction and challenges will always present themselves.
