As of 10:30 today I became debt free! Wooo hoooo!! Can I get a "Whoop whoop" in the comments below!
I am beyond excited about paying off my student loan which has been hanging over my head for seven years. Not having to worry about loan payments every month is going to be such a huge weight off my shoulders. I will not know what to do with myself. Well... I have a fair idea, it may involve a new wardrobe!
To celebrate I took my brother David for breakfast to a cafe which opened recently in Navan town called No.8 Watergate. I had yet to go and I heard great things about their american style pancakes and I was not disappointed with what I received! It look's like a lot but boy was it good, I even asked for extra maple syrup. Yum!

Noting works off a big breakfast like shopping, aye girls! While looking for a dress for another occasion entirely I came across this little number in River Island for the bargain price of €12 reduced from €25. I had to try it on! I've never worn a dress which was short short and tight tight at the same time. Usually if I'm going short I stick to flowy girlie dresses. I tried it on anyway and asked you lovely girls what you thought and I received a heck load of "BUY IT" and lovely compliments and Twitter and Facebook so you can bet your bottom dollar I bought it. Thank you girls for the push. I also treated myself to some new gym clothes in Penneys, they really have great selection in there for practically noting.

I hope you don't mind these types of posts. I just love sharing my happy news with you all. Have you ever cleared off a loan and felt on top of the world like I do now?
Love,
Sarah

ReplyDeleteI know Karen, once I have my wheel's I'll be flying!! Ahhh I'm so excited, I should have done it a long time ago! x
DeleteCongrats!! :) Don't worry about driving, I was terrified before I started but my parents bought me a new car which forever me to drive & within a week I could drive..2 months later & I passed my driving test. Once you start, you'll just keep improving & in a few weeks you won't even have to think about gears!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! :)

ReplyDeleteBest of luck with the driving, I need to learn myself. I really love public transport, but I'm spending more and more time outside Dublin now so a car is starting to become a necessity.
Congrats Sarah! (WHOOP WHOOP!) I really need to start driving too, hopefully soon :) Can't wait to see the new wardrobe!

ReplyDelete"Whoop, whoop" - Congratulations on being debt-free! But, your student loan was really hanging over your head for quite sometime. Now, you can splurge on some things that you've been dreading to get. Although, not too much or else, you'll be under debt again and that wouldn't be a great feeling. Jaden Allred
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! May I check up on how your financial life is doing now? Did you manage to retain the debt-free status? That part is where most people fail. Some develop this mindset that since they were able to escape debt one time, they can always do it again. Only few truly learn from the struggles of paying off debts. I hope you're in the second group. :] AllanPaddon + Yorke
