    Wonderful news to hear there's another Debt Free Wannabee. Now I've explained the cost elsewhere - you have to stay here - help others and write a big post about how you did it :)

    Cant be a "Wannabe" anymore - the deeds done. How about an amabee? or a gottabe? :rotfl:

    Congratulations! Could we have some more background detail please?

    The blood, sweat and tears that went into working your way to debt freedom would be good, as we are all suffering and it would encourage us to think that it was all going to be worth while in the end!

    Congratulations!! You must have worked very hard to clear that debt in 7 months. Just take a moment to look back at what you have achieved so you can be proud of yourself.
    Good luck for Uni as well.
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)
