The Mental Debt Struggle...

Purplelady65

That’s amazing news - you must be over the moon! It gives you an amazing opportunity for a fresh start. It must be a great feeling not having to worry about juggling money around your credit cards etc. to make your monthly payments for each of the debts.

Oh it’s not a cheat code! It’s a rational, considered, logical, right for you, decision. 

I had something similar when I finally got some of the monies from the house I had helped my nasty Ex do up (less than half the equity, but hey … 🤷‍♀️). That cleared what was left of my debts (at the time! 🙄😉) and became the seed of our first house deposit … 😊

I recognise that odd feeling of deflation, ‘cheating’, what-do-I-do-now-ness … 😉 It passes, you will adapt and what you will find, as others have said is that you have a whole piece of spare mental capacity to do what you want to do, which will be useful for your new working from home contract and your blog 😊

So very, very pleased for you 😊🤩🥳🎉🎊

wonderful news and definitely the right decision. Absolutely not a cheat more like karma repaying all those times you helped out family members when you really couldn’t afford to.  Enjoy

That's wonderful news! A real springboard into your new start. And all the work you've already put in to understanding and controlling the flow of your money has given you skills for the future.
Congratulations!

You're debt free! That's fantastic! Many congratulations.

And you definitely earned it: 
By being the sort of person a relative wants to gift money to
By working so hard at managing your money that you put yourself in the position where this money could make you debt free
By persevering through all the bad luck so you're finally due some good luck. Let's be honest, everything ultimately comes down to luck doesn't it, so don't worry about the universe even-ing things up a little when you've had to contend with a lot of things others haven't.

I am so pleased for you x

It is really nice to hear after all the times you have helped out others when you have been struggling financially that you have now been helped in such an amazing way. Definitely not cheating. Enjoy your new debit free status. Oh and congratulations on the freelance work xx

That is such brilliant, uplifting news Keedie. A real life changer and some much deserved good fortune. Loving all the positive comments from everyone too. Must feel like a massive weight being lifted. 

I also think you’ve definitely done the right thing by using your wonderful windfall to clear what you owe 
I love it when good things happen to good people
