Dragon, could I please report a further £1400 payment? That leaves me with £1298.10 to pay off. Hopefully this will be done next month (fingers crossed!).

Hi all,

Not been around much since becoming (personally) debt free last April (and taking the Silver in this challenge).

Now for the confession, (I'll let The Dragon judge whether or not to strip me of the Silver ). WE (not just I) are in debt, there, I've said it.

Since last April, we bought a new house, moved into said new house, got married, and went on honeymoon (wedding and honeymoon saved for). We did however borrow some of the deposit money and with fees, new appliances (mines were left in my old house as renting out), new bedroom furniture etc., we racked up a fair whack.

Now the good news, although debt is currently at £13097 :eek:, it was at £20,599 last Aug, so we have managed to clear £7.5K already.

Being Scottish, as someone above said, our new goal is to be debt free by the Commonwealth games, actually aiming for next June/July but that's going hell for leather and not having much of a life.

So confession over, do what you will Dear Dragon

First off CONGRATULATIONS :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

Secondly you cleared the debt so you earned the silver , I will be setting off the "Debt Free For Rio" thread as soon as the London Olympics start - so you could always join up again

My debt is down to £4960.90.

Hello - no 32 - Debt total now stands at 9,242/16,320. Hopefully by next month it should be going down the 8,000s, on the way to the half way mark.
Thanks Dragon

Number 52 here, debt free as of today. I can't believe it, it doesn't feel real yet.
