How I did it
It made me
Carefree! 
How I did it: It was a combination of things really - I did what I could to pay things off month by month. Then I got engaged and needed to pay for a wedding. A wedding plus my remaining debt was an amount substantial enough to warrant mortgaging my rental property (which was previously unmortgaged) which took me debt-free. Read how I did it…

I’ve been working for RoyalBlue for 18 days now, and I’m loving it. The work is great – still a little daunting at the moment since the software is so complex, but there’s tasks I can do unaided now so I don’t feel as useless as I did on the first couple of days. The training is pretty enjoyable too, and the commute really isn’t too bad since I live so close to the station. The real gem of this job is the people. My team is an amazing group of guys – they’ve got great personalities, and collectively there’s an awesome ambience. They’re also a great laugh outside of the office – there’s a weekly pub-housed get-together that everyone makes an appearance in at least once in a while, and most Friday lunchtimes the girls get together for a gossip. It’s awesome and I’m loving it – and yeah, the paychecks are great too. Obviously!
I had an interview yesterday morning which lasted a few hours – and I’d been offered the job by dinnertime! The paperwork should arrive in the post tomorrow morning. It’s a job I really wanted and I’m utterly gobsmacked that I got it, so I’ve been bouncing off the walls for the last 30 hours or so! I start at the beginning of September and can’t wait.
