The day our stoozing died :(

  • how stoozing went from 'hero to zero'?

    I was fairly late into stoozing so paid fees of 2-3% on all my stoozes. It was the fall in savings interest rates that killed the credit card stooze for me, not the introduction of fees (although a 7% savings rate on a truly 0% transfer must have been tasty!).

    Just wanted to add that my own stoozing was up to over £100,000 at one point (with an additional £37,000 in my wife's name which I was also managing).

    Stoozing helped me clear my own mortgage much earlier than anticipated. I wrote all about it on a post way back in 2007; if you're interested in reading about it, click here. I'm still proud of what I managed to achieve.

    My own stoozing is down to around just £15,000 now (thanks to a recent helping hand from Abbey whom decided to offer me 0% with no BT fee - I've been partying like it's 2006 :)).

    The only problem with having no mortgage is that I'm buying too many CDs and one day I might need to move to a bigger place to house 'em all :rotfl:.
