I was lucky to receive inheritance a few years back, Which went towards a house. A family member lent me the rest of the money towards my home which I pay back monthly. So by the time I am 40, I will be mortgage free which is amazing. I know I am very lucky! I wasn’t able to get a mortgage as I had history of a pay day loan on my credit history so any lender wouldn’t touch me

i then got into around £10k worth of debt on 3 credit cards. Basically living a life I couldn’t afford so I used credit cards instead. I wouldn’t even be able to tell
You what I put on them. I got a bank loan to control the debt as it was getting out of hand with all the interest on the credit cards. January was my last payment and I can’t tell you how good it feels
