Dreaming of being Debt Free
Comments

Still kinda the case. Doesn't want to talk about the debt. Or accelerate getting rid of it. Happy to just pay the instalments. Or show me her accounts.
Yes they are still working at them.
And yes they still give me a rounded down amount for it. Which is annoying, for some reason.
I mean we are making progress. But in the time since starting post, this I've payed off one of her credit cards, my own cc, my overdraft - and importantly not gone into it again, my student loan, tax credits - which wasn't payed to me either, and have a good progress to having a 3 month emergency fund. All while paying all the rent, utilities, internet, car, etc. she does pay the council tax and half the household shopping but that's it for bills.
It's just frustrating more than anything.Working on getting rid of my debt FOREVER0 -
Got paid today. Had about £4 left. So another month complete without going into overdraft.
Not sure if I said. Inset up a Monzo account, just for savings. Didn't like having so much cash in house, so I'm downgrading how much I have, and putting savings into that instead. So got 1000 at home now, and 1600 in the saving pot.
Gas and electric are going up this month by £30 a month, also got an email about my phone , battery is cooked so need to find out more about that.Working on getting rid of my debt FOREVER1
