Enjoy your debt free scream!1

Good evening all,
So a little over a year has passed since we popped back in to do our debt free scream and we thought we'd pop back for another update
It's been now almost three years to the day since we first started this thread and it's truly joyous to read back over and see how far we have come.
To recap to those new here; we were £53k in debt, in a rented house, newly married with a 1 year old baby daughter, our fiances were completely out of control and the idea of being debt free and buying a house of our own seemed a near impossibility....
Fast forward three years and we are now actively looking for and viewing houses and hope to buy in the coming months
In three years we have taken our finances from -£53,0000 in the red to just shy of £40,000 in the black having put away not far off... £100,000! 🤯. We can barely believe it ourselves...!
To anyone reading this who is where we were those three years ago please please believe in yourself and understand YOU can do this. We never thought we could and we have. No-one gave us any money and we worked our !!!!!! off. There were tiredness and tears along the way.. we worked two jobs...worked overtime...got promoted...cut back most of the ridiculous wastage and destroyed those bloody loans and credit cards one by one.
If we can do it you can do it..
Good luck to you all
