What Does It Feel Like To Pay Off Over $70K In 19 Months?

I started the No Credit Needed Network so that I could connect with other people who were trying to get out of debt. Now, with more than 150 members, the Network has grown from a simple “site” to a MAJOR project. I’m really, really amazed by the progress that many of the NCN Network members have made over the course of the last year or so, and I’m really proud of Network member, Debt Monster.

Debt Monster joined the No Credit Needed Network in March of 2006. Since then, she’s paid off more than $70,000! Debt Monster does not have a personal finance blog, but you can read all about her and her eclectic tastes here. To see Debt Monster’s completed chart, click here and visit the NCN Network.

I’m amazed by Debt Monster’s progress… and I’m humbled that she credits the Network for “helping” her. I never dreamed that starting the Network would lead to so many friends, so many success stories, and so much to celebrate.

Debt Monster, it must be said, You ROCK!!!

    Congratulations! I started with 68k in debt at the beginning of this year. I wrote about what it took to get down to less than 10k right now at my blog. I came to Iraq to earn extra cash. If you want to check it out, here is the pertinent post:
