debt free wannabe - needs a planner

Hi

i am very new to all this, and i like most people in with world want to be debt free before it totally gets out of controls. I could do with help advise etc. but most importantly i would like a Budget/expense planner, i tried downloading the one on the site which is in excel which i did but couldnt get it use.

So any tips advise, website to look at etc etc would be great as at the moment i havent a clue:confused: and need to get all finances organised and start paying them off.

......... its just were to start.........:cry:

Thanks

    Oh, where are my manners!! Hello and welcome!! This is a brill site...it will help you in untold ways on your debt free journey! The people on here are really lovely and will help with anything they can!!

    When you get a budget planner sorted you should post a SOA (statement of affairs) including all your income and outgoings, debts their apr's - you'll find everything you need to know in a sticky on the top of the top of the debt free wannabe page! Think it has 'first time posters'!

    Good luck!!
