    Number 2 is reporting that as of today she is now DEBT FREE in the United Kingdom!!!


    Last payment to Tesco: £322.87. I wanted to pay off originally £19.200, than £24.000 by the end of this year, I would have never thought that we could become debt free- motivation, concentration and lots of extra jobs helped us to achieve this. I am over the moon. This also means that our family home (well only a 2 bed flat:D) is now mortgage free:T.

    2. kavics17 - £25,092.34/£24,000:T

    Good luck Everyone, keep up the good work! I will watch this thread with interest and will come back supporting all of you!

    Thank you everyone, to be honest it doesn't feel 'anything' at the moment. Bank account balance is depressing, have appr £80 till payday which is not till the 30st:)). But it's worth every penny, being debt and mortgage free was always the dream, I just hope it will sink in soon:).
