  • Good evening,

    I just wanted to mention, last year I read many posts here about your debts and how you deal with it.
    I wasn't brave enough to say: I want to join one of these challenges. But I decided, I will pay off my all debt as soon as I can. Many of you here and other topics inspired me and gave me the energy to actually work on it.

    Just before Christmas, I sent my last payment for my student loan(Non-Uk student loan) and I built a nice cushion for an emergency too.

    I would like to say:
    Thank you all, for your comments and I wish a successful 2020 :)
