    Debt-free and Proud!
    edited 28 March 2012 at 12:01PM
    a. The date of your lightbulb moment August 2010
    b. Debts at their highest about 8k
    c. Debt-Free Date March 2012
    d. Your one perl of wisdom. Once you have figured out how much is required (monthly/ weekly) to pay off your debt, do this first before you have a chance to use the money up for something else. And never get a payday loan. Even if you are literally about to starve to death. And everything on this site, really.
    **Debt Free as of 15:55 on Friday 23rd March 2012**And I am staying that way
