  • Since my last post...

    - Still 26 (for now)
    - Income reduced by 12% to £29,480 (such a psychological barrier to be below £30k again)
    - Debt now zero

    Im a noobie over here but am trying to keep my spending under control

    Im 29
    earn 23k

    approx 13k of student loans but am not earning enough to hit the paying threshold so is deferred again

    my half share of the 155k mortgage

    and I currently have ~ 1k of graduate 0% overdraft which I tend to keep near the limit but would like to be in the black for the first time in over 10 years :eek: oh and is due to drop to £500 0% in about July

    My credit card is all but paid off (~£80 left but am waiting for quidco payments and some p/t earnings to come through which will more than cover it) and Im paying my mum and dad back at £50 a month (loan of approx 2k - approx £1500 still to go)

    untill I met my H I thought my debt was neglible compared to most of my friends but he is really frugal and had no student loan and came out with savings (:eek:) so he has helped me realise I need to sort myself out

    I am regularly having NSDs as I take my own lunch to work and all my regular payments are on DD
