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
