Im Nearly There!

Options
I promised myself id be debt free by 30 (May 2013) and im just a few pay checks away from achieving that goal:) I remember going into debt when i got my first PT job after Uni 7 years ago..earning some credit getting into debt (you know the story).
Now im about to get a full pay check every 4 weeks to myself (£1200 after tax).
The issue im facing is that i dont know what to do now im going to be debt free. Id like your inspiration and ideas/dreams on what you'd do if your about to be debt free...
Save 10k in 201 = 4000/£10000

Debt free by 2014 :)

  • My aim is to be debt free by my eldest son's 18th birthday (october 2016) and as he announced today he wants to go to Oxford or Cambridge I can imagine where some of my money will be going!

    The first thing I am going to do is SAVE for a new car (new to me, not brand new), and maybe for a nice holiday with the kids before the eldest flies the nest.

    Do you drive? Driving lessons would be a good investment.

    Good idea to save up a few months salary to safeguard against getting into debt again.
