I've been in debt for nearly four years -- rarely "broke" as such but sometimes skirting near the edge of my steadily-increasing credit limit. It started in my last year of Uni due to the obvious, usual causes, and then continued as I struggled through various post-Uni temp jobs, increasing rents, and sundry financial setbacks like the Phone Fraud

Thanks!

Congratulations! Feels good, dunnit?

Of course, the best one is when that student loan is finally gone and you don't owe anybody a thing.

It really does! I'd gotten so used to the debt that I just became complacement about the whole issue - but now I'm actually on my way to solvency, I find myself just spontaneously checking my balance for the fun of it, haha. :D

I'd never really felt 'connected' to my student loan before.. now I'm looking forward to being free of it. Although by that time I'll hopefully be on a wage where the minimal payments they ask for are fairly irrelevant anyway!

Debt really sticks in my craw. I'm almost paid up on one of my cards. $90 left on a $2000 deficit. Of course, that only accounts for about a quarter of my total debt. Getting there...
