    Wow, that's amazing, congratulations! I can't wait to post on here one day that I'm debt free. Can I ask how much you cleared?
    Do what you want because in the end people will judge you anyway.

    A BIG thank you to everyone who has ever given me advice on the forum! I am now officially debt free! After 18 months I did it! I gave up smoking and saved the money away, stopped getting the bus to work and walked and stopped spending money I didnt have on things I didnt need!! I had payday loans coming out of my **** this time last year and finally its all gone! I can answer my mobile without hearing "Its Wonga, Its P2P, Its Quickquid"!

    The advice I got from the forums got me through it all. Knowing I wasnt alone in my problems and advice on how to sort it.

    Thank you to everyone for their guidance!

    Thank you for sharing that great story with us, it is so nice that you are now debt free. It is an inspiration to others and goes to show what a PAP (Personal austerity plan) can achieve in a relatively short space of time. Please make sure that you start saving regularly, the importance of this cannot be overstated. All the best.

    Well done Mancboixxx. Life is totally different when you are not watching your money disappear a few days after pay day, and you have probably added a few eatra years to enjoy it by giving up smoking and walking more - fantastic. :T
