Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2019

  • Evening all.

    Sorry for the lack of updates, my credit card balances have been yo-yo-ing over the last couple of months, I've been able to clear them each payday to avoid racking up interest, but having to use them again pretty much straight away, so I haven't really made much of a difference.

    Back on track now, fully cleared and closed one, the other one should be gone at the end of April, so all I'll have left is family debts. A debt's a debt though, so still counting them unfortuantely even though they're not interest bearing or reported anywhere!

    Anyway, enough waffle from me! #161 - now paid £2,681.99 / £5,494.43!

    Thank you :) Yes it really does! I am so focused this month on it just being gone. It has been four years all together, though I had only paid 2.5k a year ago I think, so mostly has been the bane of my life this past year and a half.

    I'm not sure how I will process it once it's gone though, in a weird way it has been such a focus for the past year and whether I've paid off or overspent has been such a reward/ anxiety in my life I think it will take time to adjust.

    But I am excited! Going to try and find some bits to sell this weekend to hurry it along :)
