I Did it! I'M DEBT FREE!!!!

Hi folks

I've not been on for a while, well rarely since before Christmas, as I've been busy paying off debt and planning a wedding.

Anyhoo, last week I paid off my last remaining debt (except for the Mortgage of course) and I'm now debt free. I'm soooo happy but also feel really weird. It's like nothing has changed yet. Maybe that's because I used every last penny I had to pay it off this early and now I'm skint until pay day :rotfl:

Next month I really will feel the difference as I'll have sooooo much 'spare' cash..wooohoooooo!!!!!

So what does the future hold? Well, we're getting married in October and already have the money in the bank so no more debt for us. Also, we're hoping to move in 2010 to our "forever house" so now instead of paying my hard earned cash over to someone else, I get to save it towards our future.

Good luck everyone!
