I'm getting there

I haven't posted for a while and I can't seem to work this thing or understand where to post! Never mind, here goes, wrong place or not!
I've paid off both my credit cards!
I've only my sister to pay back now and I'm paying her £250 per month. Pray the car will keep running and the washing machine working! I was cc debt free on 30/05/18.:)
When I feel stressed at work and think I can't do my job any longer I don't feel as trapped. I feel more free! So much happier.
All those in same position pease just be patient, be frugal. It takes time but you can do it!
I will be debt free by 45 (that was my goal) and all going well I should be debt free by next March and I'll still be 43!
Thanks for reading!
