From living in an overdraft to 30k pounds saved and invested in four years

Hi all prior to covid I was livign in my overdraft. Four years later I have saved 24k pounds. 
Most of it invested in the ftse global all cap index fund which is up currently 5k. 
The rest is in high interest savings. I have done all the bank switches and all the deals on MSE I can. 

Thanks a lot for everyones help here! I am slowly on track again now
