    hmmm well although it's not much (2k ish) I've paid off about 50% of my debts since my lbm in august 06, i've learned to budget and better manage my finances as well as making ends to simplify them. I used to have a second account for bills coming out so they were always paid but ended up with two overdrafts (one on each acocunt)! now I have one account and my bills are STILL always paid every month. LAst month I was in my od for three days and barring any unforseeable disasters it should only be one day this month :j

    Great idea for a thread and just what we need to lift our spirits on a cold and damp bank holiday monday!

    I much prefer a cold and damp bank holiday Monday than a warm and sunny working Monday!
