    haha it certainly occupies the time....

    when you've paid it off, then you move over to the savings and investments board and become obsessed with savings rates tarting and how much you can save this month....it's exactly the same principles, it's just your money this time, not the banks'.
  • good point.

    must get it paid off quicker!

    LOL I know exactly what I'm going to be doing with all that spare cash when I've paid everything off......

    Firstly will be my first ever adult holiday (and i dont mean naturalist or anything) I mean that my parents didnt pay for, to New York!

    And then I'll be saving as much as I can to join my next debt mountain of owning my own home :)

    the trick is once you have paid off the debt, then your mortgage is to become mega wealthy by investing and help out trhose less fortunate. of course I am going to have to find a way of doing this without the banks help as I will never trust them again as long as I live lol :)
