Young, fun but not excatly debt free :(

Hi guys
Hope everyone is well.
This is my first post, quite nervous and if I am being honest I really don't have a clue about most of this so please forgive me ignorance!!!
Through reason that are no body else's fault but mine, I have managed to get myself into debt, really not proud of my self because of it!!
I am only 21 so I know this is not end of world, I currently have what I would class as a secure job.
I have completed one of them SOA, some of the figures might be out slightly, as well as some of the APRs some are total guess works!

    Hi

    Do you actually have the £335 left at the end of the month?
    Keep a spending diary & you will be able to see where your money is being frittered away.

    How long have the HP & secured loans got to run?

    Why don't you pay council tax gas, electric & water rates?
    Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.
  • I don't pay any household bills because I live with my parents, hence the £300 rent.
    Well its a hard one because of my overdraft I try not to spend anything over than I have to, but I suppose if I hit the 850 overdraft I might have 300 odd pound spare but its pushing it!
