    It is so great to see everyone doing so well, not only does it encourage me but it also makes me feel a bit better about being so obsessed with trying to be debt free!

    I'm turning into a bit of an obsessive, I have just tried to plan everything I think I will spend (on a daily level!) for the rest of the year to try to predict how much I can save from my wages each month. I am now going to try to beat it each month....fingers crossed!

    Good luck everyone!
