What is your debt-free motivation?

Rammstein1

I just want to be free of the noose around my neck and finally have the feeling that the money im earning is mine and i don't owe it anybody else
Iv made myself a little promise today and thats to be debt free within the next 5 years and im going to try to make it sooner

Mine is to move house too, have a flat I don't like much and would like to move to a house that I'd stay in for a while. Also I like the idea of my paypacket being ALL mine so will probably try to be mortgage free asap too. I can only imagine that feeling...

Hi,

It's great to see what others want to achieve.

I want ...
to be able to go on holiday and be able to pay for it up-front
to have double glazing (it's so cold!!!!)
to do up the kitchen and bathroom
to sell up and move to somewhere bigger
to be able to get married and start my marriage debt-free
to not have to keep asking myself if I can afford it.
to never be back in this mess again!

Just to feel secure and totally independent.

I've never, ever been totally debt free since I was about 23.

I want to get out of debt and have some savings for two reasons

1. to leave my job and take a less stressful part time position.

2. buy my own house.

To get a good night's sleep! Seriously, worrying about money all the time really does tire me out. I can't be bothered with this amount of worrying and fretting over the basics in life like 'how will I feed myself next week?'

Even after knocking more than £30K off my debt over the past few years, I still can't get a good nights sleep as being in debt has robbed me of the right to feel settled and secure in my own home.

Really enjoyed reading this thread and most peoples reasons mirror mine.

My motivation is my daughter. She is almost 4 but I was my money situation to never effect her. She has no concept of money now and needs very little so I want to be debt free by the time she is old enough to understand if that makes sense.

I want to be debt and mortgage free so that I can work as little or as much as I want and that I can do whatever I want when I want without too much worry.
