The long haul supporters thread...

Cheers Keeping Positive - I will look at that tool. As for that ankle - as physio's husband I have to say "Do your exercises!".

I am sure there will be times when the debt is going down quicker and times when it will be slower.

Hi Stan73,
I'm a newbie here too, works wonders for the motivation on the down days.
We had bad news on the car last week, always something trying to stop us paying off debts!
You're so right Keeping Positive, I definitely feel more tortoise than hare. Actually, is there something slower than a tortoise that I could be?!:rolleyes:

only thing that matters stan 73 is direction debt is going---downwards.it may seem slow/neverending and no light end of tunnel.but like a diet a slowly but surely is better than fast an failing.

you get set-backs un-forscene bills---even horror thinking--im giving up.

this thread has showed me it can be done.

i only post yearly figures

good-luck

:beer:

Hey all i think im some pages back considering when i last paid a visit, im still debtbusting and nearly paid for my wedding but im getting really fed up now it feels like a never ending journey ah how i long to be in the 30 figure to feel somewhat better but i feel so bogged down with it... because we are paying for the wedding we cant reallyoverpay on the cards and i long for the day when i can finally close one of the damn things !!! grrrrr

Think positive that your wedding is all paid without increasing your debt which could be so easy to do. I think thats a great achievement.

Hello,

Fairly new to all this. Had my lightbulb moment. Now £47,000 unsecured debts. Struggling to pay them but maanging so far. Am definitely in this for the long run - anyhting up to 10 years. Horrible thought but I have to face up to it.

Just wanted to say to everyone keep the faith - we'll get there in the end. Hopefully!!! I'm so glad I've found this site its given me so much knowing I'm not on my own and I can always come here for support when things get bad. Which, as i'm just at the start of my debtbusting - I'm sure they will!

Thanks everyone!

Hi talisker 78 welcome to the borards you are right it is a long journey but some what worth it in the end, i guess im glad to be reducing debt rather than building it back up after all its crazy isnt it how we dig these holes but all that matters is we are facing it now and il be happy to support you on your journey keep up the good work x

talisker did you want a longhauler number?

Hello all...been a week and a half with some painful/hard realisations. The main one being that I have been increasing my cc so have had a rethink on strategy and a plan is afoot. Basically because I always took account of the loan payments the debt was seemingly going down but cc been going up so with the help of the lovely weezl have a new strategy...no cc's, limited budget and pay of and make as much as I can! Seems so simple doesent it eh! Always good to have a rethink too...
How are others doing?
