Ha ha.

Its not all bad.

Most peoples on here would read something like:
Enjoys walks in the park
Museums. Walks along the seafront.
Cooking and movie at home,
Cinema on a Wednesday
Pizza Express 4/12 (coincides with Tesco vouchers coming out)

Leads a fairly clutter free life. (ebayed most stuff)
Not after anything flash. (cant match anything flash)

antonic

Mine would read :

Nearer to 50 than 40
Still have some of my own hair & teeth

and only 4 days till last DMP payment on 3rd June 2013 therefore DF after then.

That makes for a lot better reading than what mine would say right now that's for sure!

Are you still living by yourself or have you got another (hopefully much better) lodger?

Congratulations on your soon to be debt free status must be an amazing feeling knowing you are nearly there?

Thanks mate,

It most surely is.

After 90 months, in July I will be £280/month better off - and I will be saving most of it !.

That is a great effort. I have not long started on the path to being debt free, which I hope to be in 3 years from now and that seems so far away. How did you keep yourself motivated?

The way I did it was to split the 7 years into yearly blocks.

When I got to the end of year 1 , I thought to myself "thats 1 year gone , only another 6 to go etc".

When I got to 1 year to go , I planned to go on holiday with my dad, for our first ever holiday together, to tour the Normandy D - Day beaches.

This plan hit a slight delay, when my DMP was extended by 6 months to clear some extra interest, but I approached it with the mindset of " I have already done 7 years, whats another 6 months added onto it !" and didnt get disheartened.

My family have been a big help to me , not always financially, but by doing things like taking me abroad for short breaks.

I have now booked that holiday to Normandy, because I know from Monday I will be DF.

If I can do it, so can you !.

Have brought this thread back! Am still single. Met someone through work about 7 weeks or so ago and had thought it was going well but he's now gone radio silent. I suspect he's still hung up on his ex who works with him. Again asking myself why oh why do I put myself on the line every time?!

Muhren

I ask myself the same question sometimes!

As you can tell I am still single and still very much in debt, on the plus side I have most of this week off work and the sun is shining, the small things in life eh!
