I've just paid off ............ the last of my loans.

Now, I have nothing but everyday bills (Rent, CT, Utilities, car etc.) to pay.0 -

Okay.... after paying off my Next card, I said it would be ages before I paid off my next debt. However, I have some money in an ISA that was for a deposit for a house (could get a house with my debt, just didn't have the deposit last year), I decided it would make more sense to pay off some more debt and snowball my payments, then I could save quite quickly the money I would have spent. So thank you to this thread.... I have just paid off my highest debt of £2600. Now I have one loan and one credit card left (but no savings)....... I am so happy though! Off to update my signature!Savings target: £10,000 by December 2015!Total so far: £3470.00 = 34.7%

What a great thread!
For several years debt has been my middle name and it feels awesome to finally payoff a £6500 loan last month that was stuck with me for 5+ years.
Will not mention the crazy other ones i have left but will keep updates coming..
Its unbelievable once one has been ticked off the list. I thought it would never end but for those in my position and also what has been mentioned, its all about the small steps and smashing one over at a time then then climbing into the next one and smashing it again!!
Keep working hard at it.0
