    Spent time with my parents today talking about mortgages etc... Very exciting!! Has made me motivated to be debt free ASAP.

    I plan to be debt free and have a reasonable amount of savings towards mortgage by christmas 2014!

    Also on the hunt for a new job! Or a way of making some extra money that is fitting around uni studying!
