SS's 2008 Debt Free Diary

southernscouser

Oh and on a debt aside, my loan has cleared so another £371.57 towards freedom.

Am aiming to be debt free by April 2009 now. Again, I'll probably fail, but what the hell! :rotfl:

Hey SS you only need a chair, a tv and a small fridge capable of holding say 4 tins of lager. Oh and a woman to clean up.

You've got a plan. (Haven't you? )

Well yeah, sort of.

Basically just doubling my payment each month. Also I won't have to pay as much of as in my sog due to the front loaded interest so might be £500 or so cheaper. :think:

SS - rental prices are only worth what people are prepared to pay for them. If you like a flat but think it's too much then make them an offer. You've got the added advantage that you can move almost immediately which definitely helps. Landlords are keen to avoid void periods where their property is empty.

We got both our London flats this way. And both times they were one's which had not quite come on the market so we were first into see them. We just spent the day doorstepping all the agents and badgering them into telling us what was coming onto their books. It's the only way to do it if you're looking round here though. Not sure if it's the same where you are?

Now, this debt free malarkey. I'm aiming for March (wedding, moving out of in-laws, redundancy all kind of delayed things for me). So, is the race back on???;)

Yeah go on then. I think you might have a head start on me though!

Hey Scousey

Great news about the flat, I hope it all works out for you. I think you will possibly beat me to being debt free anyway, as I have an architect coming on Thursday to measure up the house for an extension.....by the time we have the plans and all the various approvals, we will have spent about £1500, that's before we even start building! No idea yet what the extension will cost but we will be roughly doubling our mortgage so that will definitely slow us down a bit!

Moral of the story is never have sex, as the resulting offspring take up rather a lot of room (and money!). :rotfl:

Errrr. You're Mr Matched Betting remember? And I'm still saving up for the wedding. And I'm losing my job in three :eek: months. SS. If you don't win this one hands down I will [STRIKE]run round MSE towers nekkid[/STRIKE] eat my hat! :whistle:
