So my May update, this month has seemingly gone quickly
1st April £35,048 owing
1st May £27,410 owing
28th May £25,740 owing - total paid off to date £9,308 (26.56%) disappointed that I couldn't make it £10K
A couple of things on eBay which if sold at the weekend will help.
next milestone, get below £20K0 -
Good luck to you, you sound like you've made great progress already. This whole crisis has also made me really want to change my ways after a lifetime of debt - I've come into this situation feeling genuinely scared for just being able to feed my family, all because of my overspending. I would echo the other posts regarding identifying why you are spending, its made it a whole lot easier for me.0
