I know what it is that I want to do and I even know how to go about doing it but I just don’t have the wherewithal to get there! I need to find a job asap being unemployed is crippling me.
I need to pay off my credit card (£2500), my personal loan (£2000), my student loans (£4500) & my store card (£75). My Student Loan I can defer for another year but I really need to start paying off my credit card problem is I’m badly overdrawn with no money coming in.
So goal one – Get Job!
