    I am 32...and a bit:p

    Debt = approx £9726 of which £2400 cc 0% to be paid in September; £700 on 0% cc until Feb'07...will pay that then (that will be more by then probably)....£6626 loan, which I intend to double my payments on when first cc is paid.....that will clear it by about June 07............could pay some more to clear it quicker....still contemplating that one...(offset against savings...along with mortgage...so I don't know if I should just put the extra money to that instead?

    Age = 26

    Just under 20k (was over 28k)

    Debt free date keeps changing because I pay random amounts each month depending on how much bonus I get and how much overtime I do. 2010ish though

    Debt £6,678, and hoping it will start decreasing, but like you lynzpower it has a tendancy to go the other way. I'm hoping for Christmas too, but Mar 07 is more realistic!!!! Just keep telling yourself you can do it, and you may have a nice christmas present for yourself!!!!!!

    Smartcat Happy Birthday, hope you had a nice day.
