The plan for us once we are debt free is to firstly go on holiday (haven't been since 2004!) and then I will try and save what we are paying on debts. That way we will keep in the "paying off debt" mindframe but will be saving lots at the same time! I never want to be in debt (apart from mortgage) again once we have paid this off.Paying down the mortgage:
At 1 October 2011: £226,000
Currently: £224,499
Aim: 85% LTV (£212,500)
Paid £1,500
Target remaining: 88.89%0 -

I have been helping a friend out and she has paid me back today so £1050 to the car fund. So adding the car fund to the debt paid means I have paid over £10k which is a quarter of the way to my total :j. (A secret part of me still hopes I will be able to reach the car fund total and pay off 40K but we will have to see:rolleyes:)
Have a great weekend
