    I AM / WE ARE DEBT FREEEEEEE!!!!

    I can't begin to tell you all how amazing I feel. Mine and DH started on just 8th Jan 2018. The last time we used debt was over 2 years ago, we had shifted it all to interest free but we just paid off the minimums. I am thankful that we hadn't been in the habit of using debts.
    We now also have some money in an emergency fund and our next goal is to get 3 months living costs in savings. Thank you so much to everyone on here for your encouragement and I wish you all the best on your DFW journeys xxx:j:T:rotfl:
    I am now debt free:T - 20/03/18. Whatever your situation - just.keep.going!
