  • Well done mate, enjoy being debt-free.

    And good luck to everyone else on their debt-free journey.

    Congratulations on leaving the DFW and losing your W! If I were you I would have run down the street shouting the news out loud.
    Hope your Amsterdam run goes well.
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)

    Congratulations Jamie! That is an outstanding achievement in anyone's book, and like you say, the old you would've been straight down to PC World.

    That is the beauty of these forums, they retrain the thinking.

    Good luck with the new job. :beer:

    That is probably the best description of the benefits of these forums that I have seen to date.

    I come on here every day for retraining and to focus my mind, I'm not there yet but I am certainly getting there.

    Well done. The good news stories posted by you and others are what keeps me going.

    I also agree that none of us will ever go back to our old ways - we will control our money, not let it control us.

    I am very pleased for you and wish you all the best for the future.:beer::T

    Well done! I hope that light spring in your step stays with you. Having gone through the dark days of having debt and knowing how it destroys your peace of mind, I'm sure you'll be handling your finances in a far different way in future. The hardest lessons we usually learn are those which are the most painful so I'm delighted for you that you now have a fresh start.
