  • So have you put sale proceeds into savings after allowing for the cost of the caravan? Was all of it needed to become debt free? I expect monthly bills have gone down too!

    Some but sadly we had to sell very very quickly and were left with 13k to pay off (amazing how the small fry adds up) after car loan, mortgage and caravan purchase. We also had to live for 3 months while hubby recovered further (he had to leave his job in the end) 
    Months bills have dropped but our spending was never under control so we have work to do on that
