Only 2 more payments to go!!

:j

Evening everyone!

I don't post on here very often, although I'm beginning to realise that I should.

I just wanted to share with you that we have only got 2 more payments left on our car finance......I cannot wait!

That extra £103/month is going to be a godsend!

:D
Debt as of Sept' 2015 (LBM!): £36,351 :eek: (sickening)
Monthly outgoings on debt alone: £1243/month

We're on the right path, we got ourselves here..we're a bit lost, but we'll find our way back again!

    I know the feeling! We have been debt free for over 18 months now with the exception of the car loan that it didn't make sense to pay off (would have had to pay charges). The second from last payment will come out on Friday and the last one at the end of next month:T

    Then I will truly be debt free (well except for the mortgage:rolleyes: )

    Me too....Direct Line loan was for our car (see signature line) and that finishes in two more payments:T

    In the past we have always just started over with a new loan to replace the car and keep it up to date. No more:T Nothing wrong with the car we have now......why did it take me so long and so much money to realise that I don't need a new car every three years:confused:

    Well done ... there is light at the end of the tunnel.

    You can turn that £103 towards bigger and better things. What a luxury.

    omg...yes I do have other debts..this one is just the tip of the ice-berg but that extra money will go towards our wedding fund! (Well....half of it might, the other half I may use to help pay off our other loan quicker).

    Congratulations! I think I can clear two credit cards with three more payments on each and I'm counting the days!
