    I've just been told that for the next three months I will have to work a lot more hours at work - currently part time and I will be temporarily full time.

    The good news is that if I use the extra pay towards debt I will be debt free by April!!

    My DFD was going to be September so this is a huge bonus!

    I can then start seriously saving to retire in 2020.
