    Not sure this is how I pictured it, but I’m debt free!

    My debt was a car and a small family loan to my parents, we’ve swapped to a single car between me and my girlfriend so I’ve cleared everything and have a little savings pile that I can add to instead of paying down debt!
    Congratulations xx
