            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!0 -

            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!

            Two milestones for me this week, my combined credit card and car loan debt is now 3 figures
 and the mortgage is out of the 60s and into the 50s, progress will be slower going forward but right now I'd like a glass of something bubbly, meh ok fizzy cos it's cheaper to celebrate :beer:                        0
