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.
The money troubles began after she secured her first full-time job with a salary of £17,000. At the time, Shaurna felt “rich", which spurred her on into spending money on clothes, bags and "useless items", as well as expensive trips.
If she couldn't afford it on her monthly earnings, she would put herself into debt by using a credit card. It wasn't long before Shaurna was buried in debt.
