    It is a good feeling. That's why I fear the corrupt scum in charge will spoil the party and force me back into debt one way of the other.

    So, better to burn out your savings than let them fade away.

    Well done its a good feeling, I did it in July 2009 and by November that year had bought a house up in London as well, so it didn't last long.

    Should be spending or saving?

    I'm currently on course to be debt free for the first time in my life. I also get a feeling that I should be buying all the shit my heart desires while I still can.

    Good idea. A Subaru Impreza with the gold wheels. Just as crap on the mpg as a solid gold car would be.

    More cheap debt.

    Sorry savers you're screwed.

    Don't worry, spend spend spend. Your kids or their kids will pay it back eventually.

    Menawhile, in Athens, they are taking the cuts to benefits in a typically Greek way.
