Hi all I won’t bore you all with the reasons as to why I have had depression this is about me being back on my feet and getting back in charge so a little bit about the situation I’ve never had any debt until last year once I was diognosed I was off work and things needed paying so I ended up getting a CC and loan to help my wife get by and get 2 new motors as they both broke and the CC was ment for emergencies but ended up being used for everyday things. I am just after a few words of advice spreadsheets or ideas to get the ball rolling
Currently have 5670 on CC my min payment is around 53 plus putting extra 200 month in as of this month
Loan there’s 17000 left and put 600 a month in to that any over time I am doing is going in separate pot to go towards big loan I will document this journey as I go
Wish you all well for 2019

Good luck. I empathise with you on the depression front.
Best advice I can give is to keep the end goal firmly in mind. Make sure you know exactly what you are doing it for and stay focussed. It might help to write down all the things that could derail your attempts to pay off the debts and decide in advance what you will do if something goes wrong. That way you will be prepared.
