    Debt Free. !! :T:T

    Its a feeling that I can't wait to experience. I just sometimes feel that I am wishing my life away. :eek:

  • It is pants but we got into the mess so now we have to get out of it, with a little help from CCCS/Payplan or whoever you are using, if anyone.

    We are in the right place here and so we are all here to support one another.

    We are not alone and there is always someone worse off than you.
  • Being in debt is totally pants! (stomping feet!!!) It'll be another 5 years before all of ours is paid off, unless one of us finds a whopping good paying job. We can keep our heads above water, and even pay a little extra on our loans, but that's it, and sometimes it just doesn't seem enough! I know we will get there, but you're right, sometimes we just need to vent and say "Harumph!"
    Debt at highest 01/01/2008- $79,385.32 :eek:

    It is seriously boring sometimes! My friends are all planning a trip away in the summer and it sounds amazing but I just can't afford/justify it :(

    This is a sign though that i am sorting myself out as a year or 2 ago i would have just booked it and got it in more debt!
    On the long haul for a house deposit!

    True ... but I've used the value chocolate to make some lovely sticky brownies in the past which are much more satisfying :T

    Thanks everyone for being sulky and stompy with me. I feel so much better knowing it's not just me!
