    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Getting shot of those massive monthly payments must be like getting a well deserved pay rise! And now it's all yours, no more interest clocking up in the background.

    Obviously your spending habits have been thoroughly retrained over the past 2 years, so take that disposible cash and make it work for you now. Mortgage next? Portfolio? Paying off that much money in such a short time shows you have financial acumen, so make it pay now!

    I haven't been on here for ages but I just wanted you to know that I did it, I became debt free ...something I really never thought I would be. For all those feeling that life is caving in on them because of the debt they are in, it IS possible to come out the other side. It has been hard work and I have shed more than a few tears along the way but boy does it feel good!:T

    Can I have a tardis and fast forward 13 years to be there lol!

    That is excellent for you well done! Enjoy the warm feeling and keep it!

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Oh this such good news - and so encouraging too! We've also had various debts for a similar length of time and are only just realising that it's our thinking we need to re-educate!
    You will love NY - tho' we were there in 1972!!!! The sights are fantastic - a real reward for all your hard work!
