Debt-Free by 35

Bluebell90 · 2015-09-10 15:16:44

Fell into the overdraft trap aged 18 when I was working part time, and owed around £6k in debt by age 20. :eek: I'm now 25, I currently owe £10600 in the form of a personal loan and 3 credit cards. Last month I used a bonus at work to pay off and remove an overdraft so my spending money account is now in credit every month…

@mnkone thank you! it's been 5 years since my first post and most recent post, and although I was annoyed I'd not paid off any debt (got rid of the ccs but had to top up the loan), tbf, at least I've done all of this and stood still rather than get more in debt! Silver linings! x

Personal Loan: £10,265
Next: £85
