My OH and I have been working mega hard to clear our debt and we have just cleared off a card and a whole heap of bank charges. One card and two overdrafts to go and we will finally be debt free :j:j

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

    Cleared my first credit card yesterday myself. I have another to clear next month, then a loan the month after that. Then just my final big loan to look into.

    This site and its members certainly gives a lot of encouragement and very useful advice.

    It is a great feeling when you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Anyone who is just starting on their road to being debt free, take heart, that once you make that first reduction in your debt, that light is getting closer.
