in Debt free diaries
I have been a member of MSE for many years now and have just decided that now is time to finally sort out my finances. I've dipped in and out of diaries, but I'm really trying to find somebody in the same situation as me - someone owing less than £10k, in a family and a similar income circa £36k.

I guess I'm looking for some sort of diary buddy? Or people who's diaries I can follow in more detail? Any suggestions for me please?

Thanks all:)

    I'm in a similar boat. About the same debt, slightly more income and double the kids. I'm just starting out on the quest for debt freedom. I can't tell you I have any answers (I get that from this forum) but it'd be nice to have a buddy to paddle along with. I'm writing a diary if you want to have a read and feel free to PM me.
