I think this is a lesson most of us have to learn at one point or another in our lives, and how lucky you are to have done so at such a young age. <br /><br />I still shop as a distraction at times, and still use credit cards, but do pay everything off at the end of the month to avoid paying interest (which keeps my spending in check).Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-83159195572949964932010-10-26T22:30:29.850+01:002010-10-26T22:30:29.850+01:00Wonderful post.

I was trying to get a handle on my spending by giving my passion for style an outlet away from the shops. Rather than the rails in Harvey Nicks though, I indulged in bags upon bags full of Primark tat. <br /><br />My blog opened the door to a whole new world of vintage and second hand shopping. I now seriously consider the quality and purpose of my purchases before I make them. I cut up my credit card a year ago and am 6 months away from paying off all my debts. I can't wait for that day when I can say 'I have no debts'.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08259035905722772057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-5037370234926393512010-10-26T19:00:15.591+01:002010-10-26T19:00:15.591+01:00I have a cousin in the midst of her phD in Egyptol...I have a cousin in the midst of her phD in Egyptology.

I do find it hard to get my head round the concept of spending that much money on designer stuff (I find it hard enough to justify treating myself to High St things) but each to their own budget I suppose! <br /><br />I do have a credit card but I don't buy clothes etc with it. It's used very infrequently for the bigger purchases just so that I get the credit card protection on it and I pay it off every month.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337968500120821387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-18135068268942882362010-10-26T12:19:36.419+01:002010-10-26T12:19:36.419+01:00Thanks for letting us know you..save up..I have be...Thanks for letting us know you..save up..I have been thinking a long those lines to specifically think of saving up at certain places I shop for Christmas..only I guess its too late this year.elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15854933369544818739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-50179442068431515532010-10-26T12:09:20.091+01:002010-10-26T12:09:20.091+01:00Hi Pearl and Kate-a really fabulous post and well ...Hi Pearl and Kate-a really fabulous post and well done Pearl on not only getting your PhD but now having a totally enviable and stylish wardrobe without the credit bill attached!!
