Wow you have done such an amazing job!!! Just imagine how amazing Christmas will be with no debts
Hopefully we will all be joining you soon enough. Keep up the great work! 1 -
5 days to pay day!! Getting excited as once paid I'll then only have 2 debt repayments left!! I still can't believe I'm finally here! I re-read my first post yesterday and I predicted I'd be debt free by April 2026, I did change this during my journey and brought it forward to August 2025, but life happens, now I'm on track to be debt free by November 2025 so I'm still 5 months ahead of my original plan so I'll take that!!
