  • And even better that all our current debt is interest free and if it wasn't we could probably pay it all off from money we have in a fixed rate, 4 year ISA. :T:T:T

    Due to stupidity in the past we had savings and debt! Doh

    All of you guys are so lucky. You made the debt-clearing slowly but surely. I also dreamed of doing the same but it's very hard for me because I'm the only breadwinner. But I know time will come, I will be like you.
