Hi


Well it no great surprise that I turn 40 this year and I am trying to take control of my life, and am trying to overhaul my entire life including my finances. My friend says I am scatter-gun, but my husband says I am more like scatter brain. Boo :(
I had hoped to be debt free by the time I hit the big 4-0, but unfortuntely its not going to happen. I have just applied for another 0% credit card. Anyhoo, trying not to get into debt in the future, I am trying to open up lots of different accounts for the major expenses - Car, Christmas, Holidays etc. Who is the best to go with for this? Any ideas or suggestions? Is there a bank that pays interest for all the accounts you have?
MBNA (Was £2000), Now £2, 900 (Expected date Dec/2020)
CAR (Was £300) Now
£2, 000 (Interest free loan from family member)



**Want to be on my way to being debt free for 42**

    Nationwide have one that pays 5% on £2500 for a year, then 1% thereafter. You need to pay on £1000 pcm, no DD's needed
    TSB have one that pays 3% on £1500 with no time limits, need to pay in £500. You get an additional fiver for 2 DD's
