I'm new here...

Hello, I'm brand new to the forum and not sure where to start. I just know that I need some moral support as I start my debt-free journey. I don't know my way around yet so I'll try to find everything you have all already put on to help people... I guess I need to start with being honest with myself about where I'm at and why. I was debt-free (apart from mortgage and car) 4 years ago, and now gutted to admit to myself that I'm £20k in debt (plus mortgage and car). Time to change...
