I think you should give yourself a well deserved pat on the back! You've done everything right. Paid for a lovely long holiday with no debt, have the all important emergency fund and ready cash for insurances and Xmas plus spare to enjoy yourself.
I think 2019 will work out very well for you in paying off your remaining debt.

I need to knuckle down this week and get the Christmas cards sorted and written. Then next the Xmas presents . After that is the Australia bit.
Today was a NSD , and I left work fairly early for me , so just getting the cards out ready to start writing. This weekend is one of my favourite weekends in the year, it's the day of my friends and I visiting the Manchester Christmas markets. Love the atmosphere, usually don't buy much as to be honest it's quite expensive. We always have a meal , last year I ended up with dough ball belly so will definitely be careful what I eat. .
Oh well best get on with the cards.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Very productive two hours , 95% of cards done, just some addresses to put on the ones that need posting. Been messaging DSIL about some days out, beyond excited .
