Woman explains how she paid off £20,000 debt without giving up treats

A woman has shared her top money-saving tips after paying off her £20,000 debt – without giving up frivolous treats. Shaurna Cameron, 29, first experienced issues with her finances when she graduated from university in May 2013.
