  • Congratulations, Karen - well done!

    With the antepenultimate direct debit of the month leaving my account a couple of days ago, that's the last of my non-mortgage debt to financial institutions paid off. I have one CC, which is only carrying planned monthly expenditure (life's complicated, and BC offers pretty good currency exchange rates, better than my bank's), and a rather lonely Amex card, which is seldom accepted over here.

    So according to financial institutions and the CRAs, I'm now a model citizen. I just have to repay the good old Bank of Mum and Dad now... OK it's quite a lot of money and will take a while... but still. w00t!
  • 2 for me today, CC under 6k and total debt now sub 12k, quite fancy an iced coffee :O)

    A couple of milestones from me this month:


    1. I have now dropped under the 7k mark


    2. I have paid back 85.16% of the original total balance, just over 39k:o


    A Long Island Tea sounds like a good choice, so I will have one of those please.


    Well done everyone on some fab milestones!
