(Game) The first thing I will do when I'm debt free is

This is an easy motivational game…just finish the sentence…

Who is playing??

Me :)

"The first thing I will do when I'm debt free is save some money to go on
holiday anywhere warmer than this!"
In Jan 2007 I had a debt of £27,896.00 :eek:
In October 2011 I paid it off and owned £0.00 - Kinda proud of this!:T

  • Buy a house (defeating the object of getting debt free, but hey)
    Don't worry about typing out my username - Call me COMP
    (Unless you know my real name - in which case, feel free to use that just to confuse people!)
  • ....start overpaying my mortgage and getting some savings stashed away so that I'm never, ever, ever as scared or vulnerable about losing my job as I am at the moment!

    Sleep soundly like a 'baby' without wakeing in the night, every night with debt on my mind. Always thought everyones in debt and have a job which pays well, so therefore have enough time to pay everything off. Now only 5 years to my 50th and want to have the noose free from around my neck by them......I WILL DO IT)!

    Buy a caravan so we can go away every other weekend and spend time together as family.

    I'll also start overpaying on the mortgage so i'm TOTALLY debt free.

    ...continue to save money at the rate I am now, and use the loan repayment money to add to the house deposit fund.
