Dreaming of being Debt Free

Debt_Smashing

Gonna cost about £500 to repair.
In garage now. Cheaper than a new car.
Altho the advisory list makes me think won't last much longer.

Debt_Smashing

Cars back. Cost £545 in the end.
Failed at first, panicked, but they just put the wrong tire on it.
Emergency fund down too £900.

Made it to pay day, with £20 left.
So I've paid off last of Xmas/birthday stuff. Just a party this weekend. Then hopefully a low cost month.

Not really sure what to prioritise now.

Well done.

Not been to good this month so far.
Money just seems to be disappearing.
Still all the bills have been paid.

Emergency fund is back up to £1500.
Really not sure what I'm doing at the moment. Least I'm not going into debt

That's a good amount to have in emergency fund. Hopefully it stays that way and you can get the debts gone. What ones do you have left now? 

Debt_Smashing

Well it's at £2000 now.
Just keep throwing cash in it.

And debts, nothing really, cc gone, UC too. Student loan gone.
Only thing I do have is the loan i got to pay off all partners credit cards. That's like 5500 left I think. Or about 20 months if don't do any over payments

Is it normal to still feel skint constantly after paying back so much debt?
Or am I saving too much? And not enjoying enough of it?
Still don't feel in a very secure position financially, but I know I'm in a much better one at least.

Debt_Smashing

Made it to pay day.
Less than usual came in. Guess it will be another tight month.

Earlier in your diary you commented that your partner was not on board with the debt reduction / saving - is this still the case?

Are they working and paying off their own debt? I see you still have a loan that was used to pay off your partners credit cards - do they contribute to the payment?
