Time to get my head out of the sand before I get buried fully
Long time lurker but finally got around to making a profile and posting. I've always been brought up very anti -debt and had huge anxiety about debt which luckily meant for the majority of my life I never had any...until last year. Due to a series of unforeseen events me and my husband ended up having 2 credit cards…

9 months to go - finally!
Been a long time lurker on here. Got myself into some money problems in my younger days and have been paying for it since BUT the end is near. In 9 months time I’ll be debt free and I’ll finally be rid of the biggest debt burden - my Amigo loan. Unfortunately due to bad credit I turned to them in my hour of need and then…

Overspent and What Do I Have To Show For It?
Hi, I thought I'd start my own debt free diary just to try and keep track of things more than anything... Anyway, a bit of background, I've just turned 34 and have been in debt for what seems forever (probably from around the age of 19). My biggest issue is that I've just always overspent, luckily as the years have…

Sorting out the debts before it's too late!
So, this is my very first post, although I have been reading diaries religiously for the last few weeks! I am not currently struggling with my debts, but that is because I have a lot of it on 0% at the moment, but my luck with that will eventually end and if I haven't reduced it quite a bit, I think I will be in trouble...…

Highs and lows of getting debt free
So here it is yet another debt free journey. I am going to get debt free by 35 and maybe consider buying a house. I am living in a silly part of the country, beautiful but silly (Surrey). Sky high rent and bills, all because I'm following my dream of becoming a qualified veterinary nurse. I barely go out, holidays tend to…

Needing to Stay Dept Free!
Hello all, I have been on MSE for many years now, but don't often post. We are, fortunately debt free, but, as the title suggests need to stay that way. My DH and I moved to Wales almost 7 years ago with our youngest daughter, our eldest daughter, her OH and now their 3 children. Our meager income comes from 2 small…
