    Additional:

    I do the Weekly Spend Challenge and decided that whatever money I have left over I will put to this debt...

    So am adding paying another £5.80

    = £485/£850 (57% cleared)

    :D

    Hi abundant,
    I would hold onto it - (provided you're not prone to thinking "what the heck, I'll use it") until I had all other debts paid off and a savings fund built up again.
    If there was an emergency I would check if there was any cheaper way to pay for said emergency rather than using the card. It would be a last resort.
    This is what I intend to do with mine. And when I get all other debt paid off I'll also be looking into going about getting a cheaper or 0% card to use should the need arise - and again it would be very controlled use for emergencies only.
    I want to get back to life being about what I love to do and enjoying the money we do have, saving and spending.

    Can I join again please?

    This is a big debt!
    Need to get my credit card balance down to -€2000 before we can be considered for our mortgage application, so DH is going to help me with this too from time to time (hopefully!)

    Current balance is -€4600 so need to clear another €2600 off the balance as soon as possible.

    So debt for the 100 day challenge is €2600....

    Thanks!
    Debts: Credit Card: €6000 ---> €5050 Feb 25 \ Overdraft: Step 3/100
    Savings: FF Fund: Step 23/100 \ CU: 3755/4000
