Debt free at last!

Options
I can't wait till Tomorrow! I want to pay in enough cash into my bank to kill the last £490 of my credit card debt! In 2004 I had £15,000 of debt. I just want to be able to shout out that I'm debt free even if I dont own a home or have a mortgage. I drive a '92 Astra (cheaper annual motoring costs). I've put up this post as motivation to you all to keep being thrifty, use all the info in these forums to reduce your out goings and you too will be able one day to claim your debt free too!

Maybe MSE Admin should set up a 'debt free at last' category for more debt free stories as motivation to all dealing with their own debt. Depression and dispair at the thought of how long will it take to be debt free was my biggest problem (along with a few too many glasses of vino on too many occaisions).

So like I said, hang in there people! If I've managed to become debt free then you can too! Have you recently celebrated becoming debt free or are about to become debt free? Tell us about it as motivation for all.:j

    I like it when people stick it on a separate thread as it cheers me up as i am more likely to see it. Well done and thank you for sharing it with us and cheering us up. 000202B1.gif
