    Evening all!
    Two years ago our loan was circa £16,000.

    Now it's £950 so celebrating being sub £1k on it and getting to 3 figures.

    Will be back when its clear at the end of the month. The milestone then will be no loan for the first time in 15 years!! Hurrah!!

    I'll have a large glass of red in the meantime.

    Virtual drinks all round:beer:

    My milestone for this month is 100% of my debts paid back, all £46,215.90 of it!

    It's taken me 6 years and 8 months (80 months) but as of today we are finally debt-free:D

    The bubbly is flowing and I raise a glass to all my virtual friends...I couldn't have done this without you:beer:

    Take care

    I haven't been on here for a long time and popped by in need of a boost and wow this has really done the job! Well done that's amazing. It's so weird how I can feel so much joy for people I have never met face to face. It's real joy for you though no mistaking it! Well well done.

    And all you other milestoners! Fantastic work as ever!

    Thank you Karen and well done on your own fantastic achievement!

    It really hasn't quite sunk in yet that I am debt-free but my bank balance looks a lot healthier this month than it has done for years;)

    Have just happened across this thread.. tend to go straight to the DMP Support one and haven't really browsed the others, but glad I did. Great milestones and really encouraging stories from y'all

    For me - I've just completed my last annual review with StepChange and my debt is now under the £20k mark :j

    My next milestone will be when its under £10k and that light at the end of a very loooong tunnel grows ever nearer. Never thought it would feel this good to do that final review and I'm counting down the months to that DFD.

    Cheers all :beer:

    well done that's amazing progress - also might be worth plotting yourself some smaller milestones along the way - I find that having more small milestones makes the journey feel like it's going faster! for me anyway! I possibly have the attention span of a very small thing so need regular boosts of feeling like I am making progress!
