Show Notes
In this episode, Sarah Coles and Helen Morrissey explore how much debt UK households are really carrying and why borrowing can quietly spiral out of control, even for higher earners.
They also share practical steps for tackling debt, including prioritising repayments, choosing between the avalanche and snowball methods, cutting costs, and using balance transfers carefully, alongside the importance of emergency savings in avoiding future debt.
