First steps- inspiration.

Hi I'm new. I have got myself in a situation where I have £13k credit card debt. I have done a budget - I overspend on food shopping and I also have my daughter & granchild living here ( £200 paid towards a contribution) I can afford to pay the minimum on each card- but I'm worried about when the 0% runs out on the cards as my debt increases with the transfer cosy. I'm embarrassed by my situation so came here for inspiration. Thank you

Well done for spotting that you needed to get stuff sorted sooner rather than later!!
Are you able/willing to put your budget into a statement of accounts (top sticky in this forum) and post it here? That way people might have some ideas on how to trim things a bit to give you some breathing space.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe and Old Style Money Saving boards.
