if you post up an SOA it will be easier for people to advise you on if you are spending too much in some areas and see what your monthly cash flow is like.

Hi and welcome to the board :j
Like the others have said the best first step is to complete a SOA (Statement of Affairs). This is a list of all your incomings, outgoings and debts.
This is a really good starting point. I will post a link for a SOA you can do online and copy on to here http://www.makesenseofcards.com/soacalc.htmlProud to be dealing with my debts - DFW No: 712
