Debt Free Diaries

A question about : Immoral_angel's Debt Diary

A question about : And so it begins ... the ROG fan's journey to DFness

I am fed-up with being in debt, and have decided to do something about it.

I have an Ј850 overdraft with my current bank, Lloyds-TSB (although I have just opened an overdraft-free account online with Alliance & Leicester).

I have Ј5,868.73 of an Egg loan to pay off (Ј207 a month at 6.73% interest) and I have an indeterminate (although I'll find that out when I'm sent my deferral forms in August) amount of Student Loan money to pay off also.

A question about : Debt Free by 40 Debt Diary

I've decided to take the plunge and do a diary to keep me motivated.

I'm 36 and since I've been 18, I've done the spend, debt, consolidate, spend, debt,consolidate cycle.

In 2003 I split with my partner of 14 years and I actually had 5k in the bank to furnish my new house. Stupidity and a desire to furnish it quickly along with reckless and inane spending means I now have 25,000 of debt, 5,000 of it on CC's and 20,000 secured......stupid, I know........
