What is your money goal?

To be able to find better deals by improving my credit score.

Why is that important to you?

Sometimes it’s a quicker option to have a good credit history to be able to obtain finance for example when purchasing a large item.

How much progress have you made so far?

I have increased my credit score by 20 points and obtained a credit card and some excellent utility deals.

What challenges are you experiencing in reaching your goal? (Be honest)?

It’s easy for me to occasionally think it won’t matter if I miss my direct debit date not thinking that this could prevent me from having future direct debits with a company.

How would it feel to reach your goal?

It would feel really fantastic as I would feel proud of myself for achieving my goals.

How has your attitude to money changed since working on your goal?

My attitude towards money has been more pragmatic and careful. I feel encouraged to think more deeply about the longer term.
