    Debt-free and Proud!
    Good progress

    I assume that the extra money is being tucked up

    At what point do you become debt free net, even if the loan is actually still sitting there

    I'm being dense today - what do you mean debt-free net?

    There's no extra money right now sadly, I still pay the same amount each month, but I can't save anything right now. I do actually have some savings but as I have just been made redundant and gone SE I need them in case I don;t make much money over the next few months.

    I just wanted to say well done skintchick and you inspired me to get an avatar. Hopefully my debt will be under the 10k mark by the end of March. Our debt was caused by changing the car twice since Aug 05. Won't be doing that again. It's great to see the debt figure going down isn't it. Keep up the good work and giving the good advice.
