    Only one more payment to go, that must feel wonderful.

    Once you have made your final debt payment what is the plan for the £1100 going foward?

    If I am honest, I still can't believe I am actually here!! It seemed so far away when I started my journey!!!  I have no idea how I'll celebrate, probably just by taking a deep breath and patting myself on the back!  :D

    Well, my plan going forward is to save £1000 a month, I am very excited to finally be able to see my saving account grow!  I'll see how that goes for a few months then I can adjust accordingly, my plan is to just save save save and see where it takes me.  MPS x

    Sounds like a good plan while you get your bearings.

    You will have cleared a huge amount in less than 3 years.
