Debt Free! (sort of)

After buying a PC on 0% credit card, balance tranferring to another 0% card then paying for a hol........2 years later I am now free of debt! (does student loan count as debt, or was that an investment?!) Just cleared the last £500 of my card, ended my car finance agreement after 2 years, and am buying a house, yes still a debt but... only going to cost me an extra £30 month (fixed for 5 years) above what I was paying rent! And with the £30 saved on gym membership as I can use the gym at work (for free) pays for the extra money for the house!

Cost of new car - a few quid a month on partners insurance!

I know I will get another car though, but will not finance through a dealer! There are far cheaper options, thanks to the advice on this site! And will definately get a diesel for the extra miles per gallon!

What a great site full of useful info!
