I am actually enjoying becoming debt free!!!

The fun exciting bit is finding what you can do for free, feeling back in control again. The credit crunch doesn't apply to you if you're having a NSD, when you have found things you enjoy that aren't dependant on having 'free' cash then you feel free of your debt (or at least I do). I don't feel like my day is compromised by a NSD, I have come to enjoy the opportunity to get out of the endless round of eating out at places, you get the picture.

We are spreadsheet geeks and we get a real kick from watching our debts decrease. We still have a long way to go but we are (rightly I think!) proud of how we have turned our situation around. I don't worry about being a tight !!!!! In fact we were just saying earlier today how we haven't bought clothes or shoes for ourselves in the last 2-3 years - we still have wardrobes full and we just don't miss it. Yeah, it is nice to get lovely new things but we get a bigger buzz from saving our pennies and putting it towards our debts. Our biggest extravagance has been an unlimited cinema subscription but it has given us back a social life and we are more than getting our moneys worth.

Great post - its nice to celebrate our success!!
