Still need to build up my SOA As I'm still running out of money at the end of each month last two months before even got half way though the month. so its not properly showing my sending.

My debt is not exactly spirally out of control and while I can afford the minimum payment I need/want to get rid of this debt. Currently working in the retail industry but constantly trying to get out. My credit rating pretty poor due to a few late the payments.

I think there three things I need to

1)Figure out what I'm spending cash on where I can stop
2)Get a new job(this might actually be number 1)
3)Look at transferring credit car debt to new 0% credit card If any one will take me

Would be worth considering a Loan? I know it would take longer to pay back/cost but I'm struggling to reach the end of to reach the end. A single payment and then 5 years time my debt is all gone would then at least see we debt gone in 5 year rather than just meeting the minimum payment each month.

    Hi, Steve. One suggestion to help you complie and accurate SOA, would be for you to keep a spending diary, making sure you write everything, no matter how small, down. This should give you some idea of where the money is going.x
