in Debt-free wannabe
It took 2 years, 1 month and 18 days but today, ladies and gentlemen, I AM DEBT FREE!!
It's been hard work and I've been lucky to have a job that had plenty of overtime available (working an average of 72 hours a week/7 days a week for two years, no holidays etc etc) but I'm there!
I'd also like to thank Martin for providing the budget planner and all of the wonderful people on this forum for the kind words of support they've given others. Reading those posts helped and lifted me when I was feeling low and desparate. I'm so glad that this site was recommended to me and I have passed on that favour to at least 30 other people! Keep up the good work all of you!
