Today’s the day....I’m debt free!!!
May2013
Posts: 423 Forumite
It’s taken 5 years since my LBM (aka meltdown) but I’ve done it – every pound, shilling and pence of my £52k mountain of debt is finally gone!!!!
I was a wreck when I started this journey, a depressed insomniac who was in financial free fall....and now......well in simple terms I’m back in the driving seat, I know how to live within a budget, I can balance the books and I sleep soundly at night.
I’m not a regular contributor but I am an avid reader of this forum and have found it to be a wonderful source of support and learning....thank you to everyone who is so giving of their advice and guidance and all the luck in world to those of you who are on your own debt free journeys.
