edited 21 May 2013 at 10:48AM in Debt-free wannabe
Having been a member since 2007 and finding this place for probably the same reason as most of us, I've been working on my own self inflicted debt (as you'll see from the signature).

I have to say that seeing people making announcements of being debt free has been really motivational and at last...I can add myself to the list as of today.

6 years and approx £36k later and.. I'm free!! There's probably no one left on the board that remembers me as it's been a long while since I posted but, I know listening to other people's success gave me hope at the worst points of my journey and if this one makes someone see a light at the end of the tunnel, I'll be happy. It's been tough but I made it and so can anyone else that sticks with it. Here's wishing everyone a great day :j
