    Last year;

    Age : 23
    Earnings : 14k
    Debt : 6k
    Savings : Nil

    I have a student loan but I've no idea what the balance is but I tend not to count that as actual debt as it has little to no impact on any new/existing borrowing and it's taken off my salary.

    My debt is at its peak and I'm looking at getting rid of more than half of it within the next 6-7months. The remaining amount is a personal loan, once the rest of my debt is paid off I'll look at an early settlement for my loan.

    Mortgage £55,000
    Credit Card Debt £3300 approx
    Was in 2006
    Mortgage £76,000
    Credit Card Debt £18,600

    Savings - nil


    I used to think that credit card debts of £3000ish were small fry and that if I owed only that much I would be over the moon. Well, I'm not over the moon it still irks and I want rid of it but I no longer lie awake nights agonising and am not racked with anxiety in the same way.

    Once I'm rid of my credit card debt I plan on being far more money & debt savvy. I don't planning on getting rid of credit cards but I don't plan on using them as much.

    I'm going old school and living within my means.
