in Debt-free wannabe
I haven't posted here for alittle while and I doubt anyone would even know who I am, but I picked up some good advice and ideas from this forum and three years ago our debt stood at £15,000. Today I went to the bank and paid off the last loan, so today I am officially debt free and it feels so good! :j:j:j:j:j:j

Just wanted to say you can do it, keep it up everyone!

    Thanks everyone! I thought I would never get to this day, it seemed impossibly far away three years ago.

    I bought a bottle of champagne to celebrate, and tonight I will toast to my former lemonade money and champagne tastes lifestyle and say goodbye to it all! Next goal is building up my savings. May I give all of you a glass of virtual champagne on me? :beer:
