My Personal Finance Tipping Point
Free From Broke is having a nice little contest with a thought-provoking question - what is my personal finance tipping point?
For me, my personal finance tipping point came after I broke up with my previous girlfriend. I was spending lavishly with my credit cards and sometimes borrowing from friends to make up the balance payments. After the break-up, I resolved to get my finances in order so I cut up all my credit cards. Though it took quite a bit of time before I repaid all my friends and cleared all my debts, after several months, I was back in the black. I’ve not gone into debt again since then and believe it or not, I don’t possess a credit card anymore. And better still, I haven’t felt the need to do so!

Not to put all the blame on my ex but when I look back a lot of my debt came while I was with her (this included moving in with her). There were some tough lessons learned in that relationship but I have learned from it. Great to hear that your finances are in order now!
