I just wanted to say THANKS to everyone here...

I am just doing some re-jigging of the house and have found my bank/cc/loan statements etc from just before i joined MSE. I honestly didnt realise just how far i have come on my DFW journey.

I cant say i 'miss' anything from my 'old ways' but i have gained sooo much. Not just money wise either, but my entire outlook has changed!

I now actually have a little money left at the end of the month and have cut my outgoings in half.

I have never been more content and i feel so in control of my life..I am also owe 7k less than i did this time 2 years ago, and will be totally debt free by December this year, TBH i could push this and bring it forward to July time but what i do owe is 0% ie littlewoods BNPL etc so i am happy to drag it out a little longer and put the extra in my savings - yes savings lol

Anyway, just thanks guys! I dread to think where i would be now without you all!!

I just hope we can all continue to support eachother old and new MSE'ers alike
