Will we EVER get there ???

StressedSteph

I guess this type of thread has been done alot before, but I could'nt find anything.

We are in over £25,000 of debt and even though I had my Lightbulb moment November 2007, we are making slow progress.

I must admit that we have good & bad months, but all the cards are cut up so we arn't living extravagantly.

I just wondered if there are any success stories out there, with people who have had a similar amount of debt and are now free of it?

I know its going to take us years & years to clear this but it just sometimes feels like we are kidding ourselves.

My Hubby is a self-employed builder and his current job ends in a week or so and we don't have another job for him to go to as yet, so I guess I am having abit of a wobble worrying about the future.

I had 25k of debt when I left uni - that was 3 years ago...have paid 20 and just have 5 to go now...Keep your chin up, you *will* get there.

As others have said, it takes time but you will get there.

Deffo look at the role of honour. So many great stories on there.

Oh I did'nt realise there was a Role of Honour section, Off to check it out now.

I would post my SOA, but I did it a few months back and just about everything is cancelled and cut back that can be done.

Just a matter of going for as many NSD's as possible and living on nothing to get these debts paid off :-(

Thanks for your replies all.
