So I have £18k of debt but so far this month I have made £65!

£15 on vinted and £50 my opening a Lloyds basic account. I didn’t have to pay anything into it or anything.

Just open a basic bank account with Lloyds. No need to pay in, set anything up move direct debits or anything like that. Easy Peasy!

  • You have to stop running up debt, first rule of tackling debt.

    Nevertheless, I'm very impressed that you've made £65. Can you share more about how?

    yes I’ve definitely stopped creating any more debt now.

    I simply opened an account with Lloyds using the link and then I sold some old clothes on vinted too.
  • Jolly good. I'm still using my overdraft but I guess that's not creating any more debt as it already exists.

    I might go home and organise my clothes and wool. I made about £120 selling wool when I was a bit desperate late last year.

    Roll on payday as I always say.
