Just knuckle down and get it gone. I assume that your new employment will be on some kind of probationary basis to start with? That means that come the end of your 3 months or whatever period probation, they can decide for whatever reason not to continue with you - in which case "debt nearly cleared off" and a bit of a emergency fund in place is a far nicer position to be in than "Still owe a lot of money and have p*55ed disposable income up the wall in the meantime".

Never thought of it in that way

Where finances are concerned ALWAYS stop and think "What's the worst that cold happen" and then "And how would I cope if that DID happen" - it's a few minutes of thinking and planning that might just save your skin and stop you thinking in the short term only.

Good luck getting sorted and good luck with the new job!
