in Debt-free wannabe
I've just worked out that my debt free day will be 25th August 2014. After being in debt all my adult life the end is in sight. I can't wait although I don't want to wish the summer away either!!

    Well done you. What will you do when you finish your repayments?

    Hi Spare I'll be overpaying on my mortgage. At the moment it's due to finish 3 years after my retirement so I want to shorten this so that my home will be my own when I retire. For the first time ever I'm in a little house in a nice area that I will be happy to have as my forever home.
