I've had it with the FIFO lifestyle and Pappa B agrees.
He took the job as the best option out of a bunch of less that awesome options and initially it was ok, I mean hey it was better than going bankrupt but now we have got ourselves out of hot water it most definitely isn't worth it and we feel stuck.
He can't come home straight away but at least we can set out a plan to get him home asap.
12 months is a realistic goal we think, just need to pay our last bit of debt off and he could be free to get a regular job.
I'm not going to lie the last 6 months I've enjoyed buying this and that at my leisure after being in the red for so long but I don't feel good about it, its true money is a yucky thing and it distracted us from part of why we moved in the first place.
Slow, simple and happy living, that's what we need.
So its time to tighten up pay off that last debt and get PB home where he should be and I'm really excited.
So what's the plan? Well I had already decided that I'd had enough of consumerism and that I will buy as much as I possibly can second hand, tip shops and oppys will be my David Jones.
Recycling, upcycling and making old into new. Swapping this for that with other frugal friends and making do or doing without.
I've only just started and already I feel lighter, fresher.
Id love to hear tips from other frugal friends if you care to share.
