    'You need to get to the point where you absolutely hate your debt': Eoin McGee on how to defeat debt in 2026
    Jan 7 2026
    As the new year gets underway, how do we get our heads together and manage our money, particularly if we find ourselves in a state of difficult debt? Not to mention all the natural anxieties that accompany it. On this episode, we look at one person’s tricky experience with debt and examine how it speaks to universal issues, learning curves and the argument that if you can’t afford to buy it twice, you can’t afford it at all.
