Just wanted to say, I paid off over £ 30K debt, it took me just over 5 years instead of predicted 7.

I am free and very very happy :-)

    I just wanted to say, I wish you the best with your journey. You will send the very same message one day as long as you stick to your plans. It is not easy, especially if everyone else around you seems to be doing a lot better than you, buying nice clothes, going exotic holidays, living in luxury. I learnt to live with a lot less, I doubled my income by changing jobs but I also gave into temptation time to time. It was a bumpy ride. I get courage from the people on this board. I hope you can too . Best of luck ;-)
