Partner is in around £12,000 worth of debt including £4000 with the tax man (he is self employed). I am a SAHM and he earns around £500 a week from his business. I also get £120 a week from an inheritance fund. He is terrible with money, although this comes from his dyslexia - being unable to keep up with paperwork.
I absolutely HATE the house we are living in and have never been happy here. It's getting to the point where it gets me down. I would love somewhere with a garden. We live in central Blackpool at the moment and it is awful.
I am due to go to uni in 2015 and will be a qualified social worker in 2018. I would love to sell the house, use £10,000 to pay off his debts to start afresh, and put the remainder (around £20,000) in a savings account for a deposit on a new house once I am qualified and we have two incomes.
Good idea or not? I personally think its a good idea but I think that is partly because I am so unhappy here.
