in Debt-free wannabe
sorry, abit of self praise here, but I got my credit card debt to below 2k! 1995.55 to be exact :D

My new 0% card comes next week and I'll be transferring both mine and OH's balances onto it and paying 200 a month off atleast, but the balance will have increased to just over 4k but debt free hopefully by next summer! :D

DEBT FREE for the first time in 10 years and with savings!
