Since I have become debt free in Dec 2012 I haven't looked back. Been to America bought stuff for my house and got a fancy iPad mini. Life is great not owing a penny to anyone. I am in complete control of my life and the feeling is wonderful. To all struggling with their commitments it's TOTALLY worth it. Get there and experience it because there is nothing like it. Chin up I'm with you. Peace out.

    Make a realistic budget and stick to it. Go too hard and you'll fail. Make life as easy as you can. Going without will only bring excess in the long run. I found that out to my cost. You have to live otherwise why bother?
