Will it be an anti-climax ?

When you become debt-free and suffering from withdrawal symptoms-will you go there again ?

Merry Xmas debtors and there's dirt-cheap veg etc in Tesco right now-whats left of it.

God no. Being debt-free for me will mean freedom and why would I want to give that up again? Being a DFW is not just about paying off our debts- it's about changing the way you see and manage money. Most of us on here have made permanent changes to the way we manage our finances and hopefully these changes will be lifetime habits now.

No way! Im gonna be sooooo happy! Nothing will feel better than to finally be free of the burden of debt.

I am planning that when my time comes,my withdrawel symptoms from being a DFW will be replaced by being a mortgate free wannabe (Or Maybe I'll just enjoy buying lots of nice things or going on holidays [All paid for WITHOUT Loans or CC's]) Whatever it will be, I can't wait.!!!

TBH it was an anti climax when I paid capital one off. I somehow expected to feel different.

I'd like the chance to find out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it will be kind of like "oh right" I have totally changed how I feel about spending money and working out exactly what I really NEED. To be debt free will be a fantastic feling. Can't wait to actully know!

can't wait to be debt free(what a wonderful feeling that must be)...I'm never going to get into debt again...esp. with all the wonderful knowledge gained from here...I would miss this board if I was debt free and didn't come on it...but I'll still come on here:cool: :cool:

welll i am debtfree and i must admit its not so much the debt i miss its the goal... so this year i am giving myself a savings goal to try and have a target

Having a DFW attitude goes deeper than just paying off the debt, I love to get a bargain, even though I am not in debt anymore I appreciate that I can only spend it once. I agree thta having a goal is good and mine is to retire as soon as I feel I have enough to live on.
