    Debt-free and Proud!

    You will be suprised how quickly it goes, and also anything could happen within that time INCLUDING a win!

    If you had not got the dmp underway your date would of been much further away so think of it like that! Well done for getting it sorted!x

    :grouphug: didn't want to read and run, but have a hug and a congratulations for starting out on a really positive path! It might be a really long path, but like savingmummy said, it could be even longer! You never know what might pop up, that win could literally be right around the corner! Good luck xxx

    Didn't want to read and run, just wanting to send you :grouphug:. If you have just started on your DMP journey you timescale can reduce in time. Take care.

    aw it will be fun, knocking lumps out of pesky debt, have a look at all the different challenges on here, you could join a few and stick the proceeds away to bring that day sooner. The other thing is, you will progress in your life, money might nt always be this tight and you could be debt free that much sooner xx
