I sold my motorbike last night and instead of buying a new one (my original intention) I paid the money off my Egg loan!
Kind of seems like I've just got rid of my bike and now have nothing to show for the sale, but I know it's the sensible thing to do in the long run...
I've also got about £900 overtime money coming this month (payday=23rd June) which is going towards my loan. £1500 paid off my loan in one month - I'm well chuffed

Wow someones going great guns
Briliant!! And think of what you wil lsave on tax & maintainence - further savings :beer::beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
That is fantastic! You did the right thing by paying it off the loan - just think how much interest you have saved yourself.

The £900 overtime sounds good as well - hope you can get the same figure in overtime for the next few months and you will be debt free in no time!

That's what I'm hoping! It means working weekends, but that's cool because we get all our expenses paid - meaning I don't spend anything all weekend, as all food, drink, travel etc is paid - Yay!0 -

Well done, thats a massive chunk off! It is hard having to pay off debt because it doesn't feel like its going anywhere and that you've earned for nothing but just think how good it'll feel once its all paid off...and a bit earlier now aswell!!
