Looks like I am ahead of you Kazzafunk, I will be 49 next week...
I am well ahead -- 54 and a miserable old git [^]

I was once walking the dogs without hubby and a woman who we see often on the walk wanted to know if I was walking them for my Dad!!!! I didn't know whether I'd been complimented, hubby had been insulted or both!!!!!!!!

It made us laugh though.

what a fantastic post, We have learned so much over the past 2 years and can honestly say i will never borrow again, when the iva is finally over we will be free and have learned how to save and economise so the future should be so much easier

The IVA was a massive learning curve for us and one that I am so glad we went through - not only to clear our debts, but to etch onto our brains forever the importance of budgeting and living within our means !

It's been a year now since our last IVA payment and so much has happened...we have managed to save a chunk of money and at the same time we have moved house and spent money doing it up ! We have bought a new car and paid for it ......

We now have time to enjoy life, and not keep looking over our shoulders and at the doormat every day for the white envelopes in with the latest statements !

There is a solution for everyone .... Just need to stay positive !

Well said LuLu I totally agree with you, an IVA is a learning curve I am also glad I went through it, it taught me a hugh lesson never to get into debt again.
