Big day for me folks - paid off my last credit card - from £28,300 at my light bulb moment (Dec 2008) to £0 as of half an hour ago.:j
My Life
Excellent - well done you - I have £1,300 left on my last credit card and then the loan to finish but I cant wait for that even so it must feel fabulous to have paid all that off. :T0 -
My balance for October is £5,556 / £10,206
Perhaps my goal was too big to start off with but I am still pleased with what I have accomplished and hoping to make it to £6k by the end of the year (hard with xmas etc) but without this goal, challenge or forum I would still be sitting with 3 credit cards just paying off the interest each month and still buying things on credit - so thank you to all of you for keeping me motivated to chip away at the debt.0 -
