How did you/will you celebrate becoming DF?

Options
I'm in the middle - literally- of paying down my 11k Debt, having had my light bulb moment, I believe I can go from being 16 months until I am DF to December, which doesn't feel that long away. Each month between now an December I will chip off another debt, effectively paying more to the next one, until I will be a staggering £600 better off a month, will have no over draft and will have started some savings. :j

While there is still hard work to be done in the mean time and of course this depends on nothing going wrong and me sticking to my plan, mwah hahah!

However, with everything you work hard towards, you want to reward yourself for the effort. I plan to enjoy this Christmas (frugally of course!) but I still want to celebrate somehow, in a way that doesn't compromise my efforts.

So I need some cha-chingspiration! (sorry!) So how did you / will you acknowledge your new found financial freedom?
Some times you have to hold back to go forward to where you want to be.

Like a catapolt!

    Saving for a deposit to buy. I have had a terrible relationship with money, been in some sort of debt my entire adult life. I want to celebrate by providing my children with security and signing up to an even bigger debt (mortgage lol).
