What a Fantastic Summer - Well Proud....

Options
Since finishing uni for the summer, I have been working so hard full time to get meself debt free and I have nearly halved it in 3 months!

By the time I go back to uni for my final year on 27th Sept, I will only have approx £3000 of credit card debt left and am well chuffed. I am hoping to clear it by early next year and I cant wait...so I thought I would shout out about it. Woo Hoo...I know I sound pretty sad for a student but I have defo learnt the value of money these past few months and am hoping to start life in the big bad world when I graduate with no unsecured debt what so ever (Well apart from me student loan!).

So now am off out for a chinese with me mates...will update u all in weeks to come no doubt.

Adios peeps

    :T :T :T :T :T Its not sad, rather than hard work which you have done and should be proud of. Its something alot of your classmates haven't picked up on yet I bet.
    Well done :T :T :T :T :T :T

    Massive congrats on clearing half your debt mate, but what the heck have you been buying to run up £6000 of cc debt?

    Don't you have an intrest free overdraft you could use instead, or switch to a "6 months interest free" or similar offer?

    Keep up the good work anyway.
