But the money was just disappearing.
I’d managed to find another job once the first Covid lockdown eased, but then the second lockdown hit in November 2020.
I ran up multiple overdrafts, and applied for and maxed out credits cards to pay for groceries. Only thinking about feeding my kids, I didn’t think about the mounting interest rates. I really wish these credit products wouldn’t prey on desperate people. The information on their interest rates can be unclear and confusing.
There were always things to pay for. We needed a new washing machine and then a new dryer as both had packed in. Then there were all the normal bills – gas, electric, rent, council tax, and the rest.
I found another job as a team…
