Hustling My Way To Debt Freedom

Hi everyone

I'm back again, still trying to clear the debts. I won't go into a long explanation as to where I've been (no excuses - I've just been rubbish at coming on here), but I'm just so sick of being in debt, I have to get a grip on it.

Got to hustle my way out of it, any way I can (legally of course!!). The plan? Take one debt and make a payment off it everyday until it's gone - rinse and repeat until there are no debts left. Might take me a year (highly unlikely unless I come into some money), might take me 10 years (hope not!!), all I know is if I keep on paying my daily payment, and stop running up debts, then they will eventually be gone.

First debt is a Currys account (got a time limit on this one, so have to clear it before I start getting charged interest) - £400 outstanding.

Today's payment - £13.38 from Prolific surveys. New balance - £386.62.

See you tomorrow xx
