Hugs Poppy. It's sad when plans get derailed. Something will come up...

Thank you @savingholmes I need those hugs. It's getting so close, I know it's realistically not going to be long even if it is March 2022 when I'm finally debt free it's not that long to wait but I'd still really like it to be sooner. 

Like you say something will come up

I also got derailed right before the end date... But better to be derailed at the value we owe now than when we were buried in debt. There's no comparison.

Hey 👋 
just popping on to update totals and new DFD 

my total is now £2,816 and my new dfd is February 2022 

feeling really stressed about money at the moment, stretching myself really thinly right now trying to support ds and over pay my loan. 

Urgh, it feels never ending really, even though I'm so so close to getting debt free, financial things keep cropping up and stalling me and I've lost a chunk of income too due to changes of circumstances but my outgoings haven't reduced. 

I'll get there but it's a process and not one that's going to end once I'm debt free this is a life long journey now of budgeting and staying out of debt!! 

Hope everyone's doing well on their debt busting journeys and keeping safe in these strange times we are living in.

Hi Poppy
You are getting so close now. It's right to want to be debt-free but don't sacrifice your MH to do it too quickly

Couldn’t have said it better!! Incredible progress and you are right, it’s a life long process so don’t try and cut too tight which may not be sustainable.

You'll get there, just look back at your first post and remind yourself of how far you've come on your debt free journey in such a relatively short period of time, simply amazing! Take care x

Thank you @Aspiration yea I think I'll end up burning out if I keep putting this amount of pressure on myself!
