    Not sure TBH that we are ever 'cured'.
    Maybe just older & wiser!

    Hi Beat the debt! ahhh another fellow sufferer to join me on my journey :D

    My biggest worry is when I reach the £5000-6000 in debt mark, I am concerned that at this point I will think, ahhhh well its not much debt anymore, I can add to it. Im determined to change my thinking before that ever occurs!

    Hi Rictus, I now earn £22,500. I guess debt is stressful whatever you owe, although I feel alot better about since joining MSE. I have a very long journey ahead of me :o
    but every little bit I pay off gives me a great feeling, Im already planning to wipe out my Next balance in March with my overtime... I cant wait:j
