I need some advise as Im 29 have £1671 after tax and really want some suggestions over how to clear debit QUICKLY.
:money:
I brought a property over a year ago and in one year have collected a debit of £5500 (NEARLY £7000 including interest over 3 years). I want to clear this debit in a year! but need some advise over how to draw up a realistic budget.
I have used some of the money saving Experts tips and have drawn up a Budget plan and decided to consolidated my debit. My budget feels quite drastic and an financial adviser who said it was not realistic.
