Good to see VM offers continue, Latest 0% from 31st May'24-April 25.
Balance t/fer/Money t/fer 4% Fee.
Not much time to decide if I'm going to Add to existing 0% balance with latest offer.
1.8k limit is useful, not amazing, only Kitchen Dimplex to purchase.
Considering using Savings to clear VM, though could mean Higher balance until 2025.

    Did you forget to add the question, or did you feel that the above was going to be useful or interesting to someone?

    There are other boards available for those who simply want to share tales of how they're managing/increasing/ignoring their debts, such as:

    Why not pay off debt instead of adding to it?

    If you need to use yet another transfer to fund more desirable, but unnecessary stuff, you can't afford it 

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    I could though if I did then temptation would be to 'Increase' new t/fer to 'Cleared' Limit.
    Which t.b.h. is tempting, though happy to continue towards repaying Bedroom Heater.

    If you can't resist temptation on spending, have your cards frozen and pay them off
