Brilliant. Well done. Wonderful example of how to get rid of debt. Up income by doing overtime and cut expenditure by cutting out holidays and new clothes. Just think of all that spare income you will have afterwards and more free time as you won't be forced into doing the overtime. Is the Tesco loan the last to go?I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.
