in Debt-free wannabe
I have just got off the phone to my last creditor and paid them in full. That means that my last 6 creditors have had their full money today and I am officially Debt Free 5 months earlier than planned :)

I am so pleased to of had the help from the CCCS/stepchange for the past 6.5 yrs, I know 100% if they hadn't of helped I would definatly be in around 18k worth of debt or more, as my payments before just weren't touching the balances.

Its been a long old road, but hopefully one I have learnt a lot from.

Going on holiday tomorrow so the timing is perfect, means I can celebrate debt freedom while away with my little family :) :j

For those starting their debt free journey, stick at it, its all worth it in the end!

    Thank you Moohound :) It will be your turn soon. I do plan on staying as far away from debt as possible now, as its the 2nd time I have had to pay it all back! Learnt from it now though.

    Going to try and get obsessed with saving now as much as I was obsessed with paying these debts back :)
