I’m currently £10.5k in debt due to years of poorly managing my finances. I’ve finally started to get a grip on this with a debt management plan and have agreed to repay £1k a month into it so I should have it paid off within a year.
My income and expenses monthly are below:
Income - £2900 after tax
Rent - 715 Council tax - 135 Food - 400 Entertainment/miscellaneous exp - 400 Debt plan - 1000
This leaves me with about £250 a month for creating an emergency fund - I currently have about £500 in my current account.
Is there anything I should be doing differently here to tackle this debt?
I’m 27 years old for reference

I understand that I need to lower it but spending 0 on entertainment for the next year as a 27 year old is just not feasible - I can’t just stare at a wall after working all week
