My 2 year battle to try to keep our home

Doing a happy dance on your behalf - very impressed at how you've stuck in there with everything you had going on.  Brilliant news.

Congratulations on being debt free. That will be a huge load off your mind. The change of mind set is, I think, the hardest thing. My DH is still working on it. If it is something he "needs" it is different to something we need for the house or me.

I am quite lucky that the financial uncertainty through the divorce forced the mindset change and having sole accountability made it a little easier to see and feel the progress rapidly then cling to the buzz of my progress.

Thank you. I suppose I was forced into a situation I had no control over and I had little control over so many aspects in the process but my own debt was the one thing I could control and the greatest way of securing our futures.

Well done on being debt free and so much earlier than your original DFD.

You have changed your mindset so much and it is that more than anything which has made this possible in a shorter time.  You certainly deserve a holiday next year and it's definitely the right thing to do to be saving for it from now.

Yay, well done, and what a relief! 

You'll definitely shorten your mortgage repayment period, of that I've no doubt.

I have been silently following your journey (remarkably similar to my own) and just wish to add my congratulations to your band of cheerleaders!
It is so much easier to keep focus when you are the one in control. Sending best wishes for a wonderful future of your own making xxx

Hello TbD 😁

just popping in to say congratulations on getting through this difficult period.  You have done more than survived - you have thrived!  Here's to a new chapter 🥂

So happy for you, no debt (just house and car) and being in charge of your own finances at last. What a great feeling! Get saving for your next year's much deserved family holiday
