Debt Free......Can't quite believe it....

Hi all
Pretty much as the title says really. I have just this moment paid my last 2 monthly payments to my debts off. I am officially, from this moment, for the first time in my adult life, 100% debt free.
I'ts not really sunk in yet!!
My LBM was July 2011. At that point my debts were approximately 16k. (I should say I had already paid off almost 20k two years previously but I got back into debt again due to various reasons)
And now it's gone!! I would never have been able to do it if it wasn't for this forum and website. I haven't posted that often, but I have been on here most days reading others advice. This forum really is invaluable. You guys have given me the motivation I need to keep going at points where I have been extremely low due to all my debts.
No more! :T:T:j:j:T:T
:money:
Riiiggghhhhttt........Now off to save for that mortgage!!

Well done, you can now use some of the money you used to clear your debts to put towards a mortgage. Then you will be part of the MFW gang!!Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)0
