Gearing up for Glasgow (or clearing debts by 2014!)
Comments

Hi all,
I'm actually a bit scared to say how much I've paid off, but only cos it is a 'bad' number! Was at £12566 and now at £11900 so can you please work that out Dragon and update my total so I don't have to type the 'bad' number??
Got some good news, finally managed to get my house sold, woo hoo! So, technically am now debt free (apart from mortgage for new house of course), BUT being the selfish Swinstie that I am, I'm not paying it all off for two reasons:
1) our debt is joint debt and after already paying more, I am reluctant to just wipe the slate clean IYKWIM, although hubby has agreed to continue to pay the money into savings once we're debt free so we've both paid the same amount - does that make me seem bad??
2) two of our 3 credit cards are 0% until March 2013 and since we've already had the interest added, there is no point in paying them early. Will probably put the money into savings and pay next March though.
So, debt free (but not quite)!0 -
and to think if you just paid £1 more Swinstie.......!Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup

I know, I thought of that, but I am a bit OCD when it comes to round numbers

Paid off: $3,985.80
Owe: $16,230.44
