New beginning

Tomorrow I will have paid off all my credit card debts. That's right, a hefty remortgage has allowed me to consolidate and pay those pesky interest-charging cards. I know, I know, I'm still paying through the nose with the mortgage but I think I got me a good deal (it's fixed for 3 years so I can budget properly) and my credit card scissors are getting blunt with so much recent action.

Goodbye credit cards, I'm living within my means from now on.

  • Good luck to you, just try to make lots of overpayments on your mortgage and you will be amazed at how much interest you save yourself. xxx
