in Debt-free wannabe
Ladies and Gents,

A big thank you to everyone on MSE. I do not contribute on hear often but I am an avid reader on the forum and have been inspired by many of peoples stories.

But I made my final lump sump payment on the CC last night £1895 but I can now say those 4 magic words 'I am debt free'. It been a long road, of which he slippery slope into debt was much faster than how long its taken to get out.. But it feels soooo good.

35K at the max, and had no DMP, bankruptcy etc, so credit file not been hit too bad. Its just been a tight few years.

Anyway, I am not gloating. I am proud of my achievement and I used to be inspired by hearing similar stories on hear knowing 'if others can do it so can I'...

I wish everyone the best of luck!!!!!
