    Debt-free and Proud!

    Debt at December 07 - £16,642.96

    Amount I paid off in 2007 - £9,351.26

    Bit gutted as I managed 11K last year. Still I did take on a grand of my OH's debt. In 2008 I'm gunning for the whole lot.

    Running total paid off by DFWs in 2007:

    £334,070.70
    Debt Free Nerd No. 89, LBM: April 2006, Debt at highest (Sept 05): £40,939.96
    NOW TOTALLY DEBT FREE!!!!!!!! Woooo hooooooo!!! DEBT FREE DATE: 23 December 2009
  • I paid off £5000

    Proud to be dealing with my debts
    :beer:
    Official DFW nerd no.190 :p
  • I paid off £13,000 from my credit card debts, plus £3344 off my loan (low apr), in addition, I also overpaid my mortgage by over £5k. I also paid for a wedding!

    So total I have paid off from my debts = £21,344:j :j

    I have £17,665 remaining in my loan to pay off but can only settle this in full, so am using my offset to build up the amount in the meantime so I can settle in full as quickly as possible and then throw all my extra cash at the mortgage to clear this too!

    I make the DFW running total now 360404!:j :j
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D
