    Debt-free and Proud!

    Just imagine what it's going to be like when this money is ours to save/spend rather than repay:D

    I know what you mean. When I'm debt free I'll be about £420(my loan repayment + current min CC payment) a month better off than I am now :) When I think of it like that, I wonder how I ever got into this carp in the first place. Even now with my debt, We have enough to live off reasonably comfortably. We can afford to pay the other bills like gas & leccy, and feed/clothe us, we can even afford the odd night away. I suppose if I lived really frugally I could pay my debt off quicker but this way I'm still living within my comfort zone.

    But when I'm debt free I'll be £5000 a year "richer" that's going to be such a good feeling :cheesy:
  • Payday has arrived! :j

    Made a few payments off my current debts and paid off my MBNA Credit Card! :j

    One less thing to worry about, hoping to clear more off as the month goes on but to update, here's my current totals.

    £331.94/£4,323.41 7.68%

  • Excellent work Ruby! First one over the finishing line, and it's still February!

    A decent chunk of freelancing money coming in, and a loan payment due out on Monday, so should be able to knock another few pounds off my total next week.

    Great work guys, thanks for motivating me to get my own cleared too.
    DFW - DEBT FREEEEEE!

    Total - 10762/10762 :)

    Every silver lining has its cloud.
