After 8 and a half years of debt from foolish credit card spending and a bank loan, I am now debt free as of yesterday morning. Paid off the last of my loan early
Now I need to save £4500 for a new piano lol!

Its nice to be debt free lol. It all started 9 years ago when I turned 18. The woman at the bank, when I went to deposit some money, said I was eligible for a new card. I, thinking it was because I was now 18, thought she meant an upgrade from an electron to a delta debit card. Then they sent me a Barclaycard through the post. Then when work messed my wages up I had to use it and it just spiralled out of control from there!
Stupid bank woman!!! As well as stupid me lol!0 -

Well done, that's an amazing thing to achieve after a silly few years - here's to being back on track :beer:"Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way!"-- Dr. Seuss0

Well done! You are unlikely to go there again (into debt) because it's a mug's game. It's been about 15 years for me. I immediately started saving the equivalent to my debt repayments so I always had spare money to buy necessities with cash. Things are much cheaper without interest payments! So much more of YOUR money stays in YOUR pocket rather than going to the vultures.It's great to be ALIVE!0
