get under £30K debt.I think psychologically seeing £29+++ instead of £30+++ will make a real difference-I think I'll feel like I'm getting somewhere then.

    I agree, Ive become a little stale of late and I am looking forward to Feb when I will be sub £40K and when I see £39K it will be such a relief. I cant believe having 'Only 39K of debt' will be a relief!!:confused:

    Just imagine when we can say our next goal is to be under £1K of debt and then to pay it all off :)

    It is all psychological cos 29 is less 30.

    Thats why everything for sale in shops is priced at £x and 99p cos it makes us think we are getting a bargain.

    I feel the same about my debts!

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Under 30K was a biggie for me but the most amazing one will be the sub 1k although I can't wait for the sub 10k.

    So many milestones, so much time.........:rolleyes:

    So you must be a debt free?!

    My first or second goal is to get another job(s) and get my debt under £25,000 by the end of next year. Now debt is around £33 - 34,000.:eek: :eek: (ss , james and the rest of you are a great example how to do it!) Lots to do, but I'm very determined to succeed. I don't know how long it takes to be a debt free with a dmp (having another app next week), but my personal latest dfd is by 2011 (hope before that). Can't wait. :j :D
