10k paid!
I couldn't wait any longer as it's been eating away at me the past few weeks, so I double checked my maths of incoming and outgoing and decided to just do it!
Fantastic

Muppets, I just want to say a big thank you for this thread. I'm still processing how I feel.
I joined this thread last year when I had paid 2.5ish of 10k, and got to 6k by christmas. This year I've cleared the 4k through selling things, cancelling things, not spending a penny, digging up all saving pots. I have £10 left in my bank account and no savings left, but I feel great.
Thank you so much for the motivation, and good luck to everyone continuing their journey
19/12/14: Spent 10 years of savings!!
:heart2: ..... to buy my first home. :heart2:
