Sorting finances out in 2022 for good!

Options
Hello everyone.. I'm back again! 

I've previously had diaries on here but lost my mojo a bit, with covid and personal circumstances. I think when I last posted on here my debt was just under 6k, it's now at  £8,506.32. This has gone up mostly due to using credit to survive whilst waiting to start my job which took much longer than anticipated. 

On the plus side I finally graduated with a respectable 2:1 which I am really proud of. I've also started my first qualified role with the local authority, it's going well but there is so much to learn! December will be the first month I've had a full wage, we get paid early because of Christmas but I'm gonna stick it into another account until the 31st.

So debts are as follows:

Tesco £5,621.07

Next £255.98

First Direct £1,959.27

Capital one £470.00

Barclay Card £200.00


I'm paying off in the order of:
Barclaycard  
Capital one 
NEXT 
Tesco 
First Direct

I'm gonna do an SOA next :) I just want rid of this debt for good!

:wave:
