    Well done boxercrazy!

    I think you are what we call a 'success story'!

    Now remember you have learnt a hard lesson in the past year or so and I hope your hubby has learnt his lesson too! Good luck!!!

    Well done. I hope your hubby appreciates all your hard work! It's so motivating for others to hear when someone reaches that light at the end of the tunnel. :T

    It's incredible you've paid off 20k worth of debt in just a year. That's determination. :A

    Hello all, just to let everyone know, we have now paid off all credit cards and both loans, am completely debt free, except for our mortgage, which we are in the proccess of moving now we have no redemption. Have got a great deal for 2 years but dnt have a redemption so can move it after that if need be!! We even have some savings now and hope to go on holiday in Sept. We are coming out of the pub cos hubby has a prolapsed disc in his back but we are going back to our house with not so much pressure to earn high wages to pay debts!! Its been a long hard year, I am so tired but its been worth it to get where we are now!! We can now relax but I just want to thank people who helped when I was so down and to say to others hang in there, theres light at at the end of the tunnel, even tho I didnt beleive it at the time!!!
  • Congratulations on becoming debt free. Good luck with your new life.
