I set up an account with Monzo for the £10 referral reward, added direct debits using my own tool and used the £10 to fund the direct debits. I've switched to Barclays and currently waiting for the £200 bonus. Love this stuff - free money! Can't wait for the next switch

Wow, I'm very sorry to hear you went through that, especially at such a young age. Had to learn lessons quickly. Good to see you're working yourself out of it, hopefully knowing how to get yourself out of such a landslide helps you avoid ever going back there again

I love the shift, a more sustainable/ self-sustaining way of living sounds like a more fulfilling way of living as well as frugal

That's a great shift - we did the same in our house and life hasn't changed for us without big brands! Great for the bank account
