Wow - love the debt-free feeling!

Well that's it, i paid off the last of my debts this morning!!!

After nearly 2 years of buying next to nothing and saving everything I have finally made it to my debt free day!!!

My LBM was May 2009 when i realised i wanted to become a midwife, but that meant quitting work and no income! Plus i had £16k plus in debts!!! So that was my LBM, I've slogged and slogged and now I am debt free and going to university this september to acheive my dream of becoming a midwife!!!

To those still on their debt-free journey - keep at it, everyday, you will get there!!!!

xxxx
I have learnt from my in-debt days....never again!
