    Pay it off and congratulations, must feel great to only have a few months left until debt free.

    Pay it off... just imagine how good it will feel. If that was me and I didn't use the money to clear the card I'd probably go and spend the money on something else (I'm a bit rubbish like that)

    Buy socks with it. Lots of socks. Even better, buy lots of wool from me and knit yourself some socks. That way you'll save even more by passing over nights out to stay in and turn heels. Won;t make you any friends, but you'll have snug feet.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Current Pay Off Target : £1500 :mad:

    hi Kevicho,

    I'm with the others, pay it off! I am struggling with a similar thing at the moment, I have £1890 on a 0% card and am putting aside £150 per month to pay off the outstanding balance next March. The thing is I keep wanting to pay it directly off the card instead.....I can't wait till it's gone

    Pay it off. I had the money to clear ALL of my debt at one point and i didnt :( i gambled it all. You will feel so much better once it's paid off. I wish i had taken my own advice

    Pay it off. How else could you get so much pleasure and satisfaction for a mere £2?;)

    I would pay it off, one less thing hanging over your head. You will feel great when the balance is down to zero.
