Highlight of my day - Most public debts illegitimate

It was rightly so the highlight of my day.
9:16 - I opened my guardian app on my way to work. Scroll down to get to the comments section and here it is:

 'The French are right: tear up public debt - most of it is illegitimate anyway' by .

 I am rightly french and highly involved with Positive Money. We have a group in Leicester that you are welcome to join if you are interested send us an email by clicking here

Thinking that 60% of public debt is most likely to be illegitimate and it is not even possible to name the debt holders makes me wonder why we are in such a state of austerity. Is it only there to favour our social elites? I am voting for a debt jubilee, right there!

3) The socialisation of the banking system

 To understand those various steps and get more info on the research, check the article out!

What did I learn from analysing my expenditure after a year

In the following blog post, I share the results of two analysis. The first one is an analysis of my spendings by categories after a year, the second is analysis of what I want to achieve by category. The analysis contribute to my main aim which is to achieve financial independence. I am currently trying to pay a debt - 12K for a student loan. To do the first analysis, I downloaded all the statements from my current account in an excel format. I assigned a category to each entry. What are the results? I  allocated 18% of my resources to my loan and the same amount to travel to France and have a couple of trip in the UK. I spent more money on conspicuous consumption than food. I did not have many outings that involved financial expenditure. What am I missing? I haven't got a good idea of what all the cash I have taken out was used for.
