Congratulations MrsC!MrsC2020x said:Hi everyone!
So today is a big day for me. I received my bonus and put almost all of it towards smashing my debt...
Paid £200 to SSE (paid in full)
Paid £401.18 to GNE (paid in full)
Paid off a whopping £2,624.14 on my final loan. (it hurt a little)
I have paid off £27,860.14 // £27,860.14Which means I can officially say... I AM DEBT FREE!!!!

It feels truly amazing - this is first time since my teens that I could say that. Huge thanks to this group for holding me accountable. I wish I had found it sooner! Good luck to everyone else on their journeys.
