    Not to get too serious but it would mean me and my OH could start with our life. We'd dearly love to get married and start a family...money prevents us from doing this and I dearly hope it doesn't get too late. Just out of interest, how do DFW Mummy's manage? I'm 27 now so not too old or anything but debt's looking to be paid off in 6 years (at the earliest) and I can feel my body clock ticking!

    Sorry - more than 4 words! Ok...

    happy, relaxed, married Mummy!

    Hang on a mo.

    We're only talking debt free here, not financial independence. Unless you can survive without your job then you will need to carry on working in order to meet all those day to day expenses.

    My four words?:

    No more interest payments!
