Great post! It's thinking about what I'll do when I'm debt free (in around 2 years - 18 months if I'm very good) that gets me through.
It's the same kind of backward thinking that says the best way to lose lots of weight quickly is to have ten pints of lager and a kebab every night for ten years and then stop! I'm currently paying a minimum of £900 a month in debts, so I'll be able to save at least that every month.
After I'll have cleared around £26,000 of debt in two years I've set myself a target of saving £30,000 in two years. Then I'm going to move back up north and buy a house (I'd have to save around £100,000 to be able to afford a house down here!)£27k (excluding interest) paid off in 29 months
Finally debt free!0
