    I'm getting really depressed about money and debts.

    Don't let yourself feel down about this, remind yourself 'It's ONLY MONEY'.
    Yeah it can feel like you have gotten yourself into a mess, and you should beat yourself up about it - but only for 5 minutes !
    Then you start with the intention to pay it off (which you are doing!).
    You should feel great about yourself, and that you WILL NEVER LET YOURSELF FEEL LIKE THIS AGAIN.
    Because, YOU WILL NEVER BORROW MONEY AGAIN.....EVER

    :D

  • Thanks Glittery but you need a certain amount to live don't you? Food, bills, things break and need fixing so you can not spend but you still need an amount to live and that's how I end up borrowing because I can't actually pay everything without. Will keep trying though

    Slowly chipping away at my CC debt, I've managed to consolidate to one card and I'm paying off as much as I can each month. Paid off £400 today. its now debt owing from buying a car. I'm really pleased with myself that I haven't added anything to my debt as I've been saving for Christmas, holidays, birthdays etc. Keep going everyone, we'll get there, LP x
