  1. Need prayers and guidance about finances. I spend up to last cent and end up borrowing to get to my next pay day. My weakest point is to help even when I don’t have.

  2. Thanks for this write up. I am blessed and it’s going to be my guide to staying out of debt

  3. I don’t want to go back into debt. I remember how long my bank account went when I had credit card debts to pay. From August 2010 to June 2017 I had a mortgage to pay. That was a huge amount to pay every single month. I made steps to overpay it in 2013. At the start of 2016 I wished to owe 25,000 and have it down to 10,000 by the start of 2010. When my regular saving account got to 3,500 I was able to pay off my mortgage. Every time I paid 500 more than my direct debit I had to pay a 5% fee.
