Dear Fellow DFWs,
I want to give you all a big thank you. Without you and your tips, I truely believe I would not be anywhere near debt free today.
I haven't posted much, but regularly visit the forums, which I will continue to do, I think forever, for inspiration.
I have followed Hypno, Taxi, and Bob's diaries and regularly dip into others, so particularly to them, thanks for the inspiration, To all of you, thank you, your advise has been invaluable.
Skip back to 2007, I was £30,000 in debt, not counting the mortgage. Now I'm DF and have started overpaying the mortgage, too.
It feels great! - And all thanks to this brilliant forum and the people who post here, and not forgetting Mr Lewis, too.
Thank you:j
