I'm getting out of debt for good

Hello all.
I don't tend to post on here much, but do lurk quite a bit.. I thought a diary might help to motivate me whilst we carry on tackling our debt mountain.
We started off at £58,085.85 in August 2008 and we've cleared £17,437.39 in 12 months.
Why we're in this mess in the first place is simple, we spent, spent and then spent some more.
That said, I wouldn't change where we are today. We are learning so much from going through this and believe me when I say never again!

Well you've come to the right place to find motivation, help and support!
I think you've done really well to clear so much in just 12 mths. You will never regret any sacrifices you're making now to get out of debt for good.
Best of luck !!If you will the end, you must will the means.0 -
That's a huge amount in one year. Well done. Do you have a target for clearing it?:A Let us be grateful to people who make us happy: they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Marcel Proust :A0
