11 years a slave - end of my journey from £103,500 in debt

Wow that’s truely encouraging. Makes feel a lot better. I was disheartened when coming to do review that after starting dmp 3 years ago with just over £41,000 of debt I’d only got it down to just short of £29,000. But you’ve truly inspired me and my debt is now a river rather than the ocean it was. I will be debt free by hook or crook in no more than 3 years! Well done.

My goodness me, what an inspirational post. How many people wallowing in debt would benefit from reading this? You have focussed on the nitty gritty here: truth, reality, will power and self denial and have identified the true goals: freedom and independence. 'Stuff' has nothing to appeal like autonomy.

Well done.

I do note from your posts that your excellent level of written English and accuracy of expression denote that you are of above average intelligence so perhaps added maturity and experience were always going to see you right in the long term.

Congratulations on your journey and on being debt free. If only such extensive debt wasn't so easy to fall in to!

Wow, I thought I must have owed the most ever, nearly £60k. Next month will be my last payment on my DMP after 7 years of struggle. Ironically I'm completely new to this forum but great to read other success stories! I may post one myself soon... Congratulations ☺️

Congratulations. I hope to join you in being debt free (apart from mortgage) in 2018

We'll all get there on our DFW journey - just keep plodding through it all. I've had redundancy, death, car accident - all sorts of lifes up and downs but I will not give up. And sometimes you empty the lake with a teaspoon and other times with a water pump!

As a newbie starting out on my own journey to being debt free, this post has really inspired me and given me a lot of hope.
I read something the other day (which coincidentally is my reason for joining this forum today) which read 'when someone dies, their debts die with them' and realising how hard it hit me that I thought at times that might be my only way out.

Thank you so much for your post - I will be coming back to read it quite often.
