    currently on about 56k of non-mortgage debt with a mortgage of £178k (ish).

    Hope to be rid of everything but the mortgage by the end of 2010.........I have my work cut out!!

    I don't like adding it up but...

    I have about £8400 of debt comprised of a a loan and 2 ccs. I want to clear it in a year but realistically it's most likely to be 18 months. That's when the loan ends, and whilst I'd love to try to pay it off early I don't know how possible that will be. I'm failry confident that the dreaded cards will be off my back way before then though.

    Currently owe a total of £10,256.74, went a bit wobbly the last 12 months or so but am back to paying all I can each month at the moment. Would've been payed off by now if I had stayed good :rolleyes: DFD is in the next 8 weeks. I can't imagine how good it will feel after being in debt since I was 16 (now 28).

    It's the thought of seeing my bank statement on the 3rd of each month without a raft of debits taking 2/3rds of it away that keeps me going :)

    About 40k in debt (jointly) and a mortgage of 170k

    When will we be out of debt?

    Unless we declare bankruptcy, probably never!!

    £11755.10 in theory it will be gone in January 2010 but that is only because a fixed term loan finishes then. In practise from about March 09 I will only have one payment a month left for that loan and can build up some savings with the rest.

    Signiture says
    about £1500 on OD (just paying bits off as and when) plus CC, which may be about £2000 - £2500 (as I have just had some security & sanity work done to house)
    This doesnt include my £20,000 loan, front loaded with intrest & being paid for monthly, nor my mortgage of £45000, again being paid monthly.

    Loan & Mortgage payments are automatic & I am, currently, having no problems with those.
    Its those pesky OD & CC, that I cant seem to control.

    Snowball says 2010 DEC? on the OD & CC, I am aiming for May 2009.
