Do you ever get sick of living a frugal lifestyle? Following leaving my husband and living alone for the first time ever, I already live what I consider to be pretty frugally. I don't use the heating, I don't have WiFi or a laptop or a TV licence (UK). I have a sim only phone contract. I stick to a tight food budget and buy anything I can second hand. I've paid off £3400 of debt since leaving him and don't have credit cards or overdrafts, and I've worked damn hard to get to this point. To know all this and to also know that the one entertainment product I do have, my second hand TV/dvd player has now broken, and I can't afford to replace it, really sucks.
'just watch Netflix on your laptop!' mum says. Bit harder when you don't have a laptop or WiFi.
Tl;Dr, TV broke and I had a meltdown.
