My debt free diary... Unless I get scared!

  • Right... So the countdown really begins now.

    I have been following the Payment a Day thread and that has helped me to MASSIVELY reduce my debt. Now that all of the debt is on an interest free card that I can pay off next pay day before the promotional period ends, I'll be focussing on SAVING money rather than clearing debts with my daily payments.

    I'm at the dentist on Monday and have put aside money for that (was willing to use CC if necessary) then the rest of the month it's SAVE SAVE SAVE!!!

  • Today will be my last post in my 'debt free wannabe' diary as tomorrow I will be debt free!

    This forum has taught me so much. My monthly take home will be reducing next month by around £200, and before I would have been using the credit cards to make up the difference, but I will not fall into that trap!
