I have been in debt for my whole 20s and a single mum.
Now in the last 8 months, I met the love of my life on Tinder, got engaged, travelled the world and bought a house that we moved into.
we were paying a fortune in rent and now have a mortgage that's so cheap as a starter house.
I am ridiculously happy.
we borrowed £12k from family to put down a deposit and cleared any credit cards we had.
I was clearing mine anyway and my boyfriend didn't really have any so we bought everything we needed and are paying it back at £500 a month interest free.
I want this to be cleared a lot sooner, and we don't have to make any payments until September as we are going to USA before then but I want to start this month so we are ahead and any extra, put it in.
this is a joint soa but we keep our finances separate apart from the joint bills.

Congrats on the new house!
For your SOA you need to account for the TV licence. Do you pay for water where you live?
You should have contents insurance (unless this is included with the buildings insurance?)
If you're going on holiday, how are you paying for it if there's no allocation of funds for holidays?
Mobile phone costs has got to be an error?
Good luck!0 -
hi thanks for all your replies, the mobiles are big but tied in until next year then going to sim only.
the holiday is paid for0
