💨 Abstract

The author describes their journey through significant debt twice, first accumulating £40,000 and then £45,000. The first time, they managed to pay it off through strict budgeting and small, celebratory goals. They later revealed coping mechanisms and strategies, including creating separate financial "pots" and seeking support from communities. The second time, they attributed their debt partly to undiagnosed ADHD, which impacted their spending habits.
