Debt free

  • Thanks for the post.

    When my dad found out I had about £2,000 of credit card debt he shook his head in dismay and said "you'll never work your way out of debt, we need to look at that". And that was the last he mentioned of it. So I spent years stupidly thinking he was right and that I would never be able to work my way out of debt, so I didn't try, and ended up with about £8,000 of credit card debt. MSE literally saved me by empowering me to tackle my debt problem. It's not been easy and it's not going to be easy but I will get there, hopefully by May 2012.

    Thank you for sharing your experiences and proving that it can be done.
