You are an inspiration. Reading your diary from the start, you have exemplified focus, consistency and dedication. I read many diaries on here. Yours stands out as written by someone who really gets what’s necessary to move away from debt and makes the necessary changes to create a wonderful life for themselves. Imagine how, once you’ve achieved your goal in a very few days now, what you can do with your energy and determination! Once you’ve enjoyed the feeling of success I can’t wait to see what you do next. You are a star.

I love receiving such great comments from people who have read my journey on here. Im glad my journey this year has made an impact not just on myself, but im hoping on others who are going through problems with money and debt like me. i hope it has inspired just one person at least to see that they can and will get thru it in the end, even with small daily payments big things can be achieved with focus and determination. Putting all my finances on here has helped me no end to reach my debt free target as it holds me publicly accountable and that makes me even more determined to succeed, not just for myself but to not let other people down who are looking in and keeping an eye on my journey. Im not sure where my journey will head to in the next chapter yet.KintsugiWhippet said:You are an inspiration.

Thank you for such a lovely comment, i really appreciate people taking the time to write such kind comments, it really makes me smile and makes me realise posting on here daily and making the sacrifices needed to get myself debt free is all very much worth it 🫶🏼
