    £504 is loads for someone like me who was recently on minimum wage. How fantastic for you, well done :) ignore everyone else being negative, they just wish they were out of debt too!

    I don’t care what you think, so debt is debt regardless of the amount hence why MSE decided to make it a sub-forum. Stop judging and let other people be happy.

    hey well done, it must be a massive relief for you.

    Have you had the time to think about what happens next?

    All the money you have been utilising to pay off the debt is now available to you?

    Have you got a life goal that you can express in financial terms?

    Can you start saving for this?

    Regular savers are a great way to start.

    Yes, a flat. :)

    It might not be a lot to some people but fair play to the OP for getting there & not owing any money. Still a good achievement.

    Good for you DABradio. I saved for a flat, it took ages but has been really worth it, for financial stability and just stability in general. A good goal :)
