I just paid off a debt!

Hello!

I'm still fairly new here but I'm buzzing with delight about having been to the bank and paid off my overdraft today, and I really wanted to share this with people who understand how much it means!! :j So if only one person reads this, thank you - I just had to share my happiness, and say thank you to everyone on here who inspired me to get off my bum and get myself on the way to being sort of financially sorted before I graduate - without MSE I'd probably still be overspending and miserable, not knowing the joy of stardrops and how fun an insanely cheap weekly shop challenge can be.

Good luck to all my fellow DFWs - I know we can do it!

Also, thanks for listening x
