WoooHoooo....I made my last payment yesterday to my LAST payday loan!!!!!!

I am very proud to say that I am payday loan free!!!!

I never thought this day would come, but it has. Thanks to the help of the wonderful people here who showed me the way!!

I will NEVER get another one!!! I hope my kids learned from us not to get into that mess. I cannot stress enough how it will affect your life and finances. We are finally getting other things paid up and paid off now that these loans are GONE!!

Just thought I would give ya a update

Thanks to everyone who helped me through this!! I know some of them are not here anymore but I still thank everyone :hug:

you are my hero. thank you for a supportive post when i first came here. Today is a bad day and it really helped me keep moving forward to see this and know that I can get there too. Thanks for being willing to share that you and your husband had over twenty loans. I have been so discouraged at my stupidity in getting so many loans and knowing that you were there too has helped.

Thank you shmlt

ops: If you are ever having another bad day, just come on here and post away. We will be here to help you through it all. Thats what I did. I would not be where I am today if it was not for this site. The support you get here is amazing!! You can have the crappiest day and post a vent in the pub, and you get so many uplifting posts back and it makes things better. It gives you the support to keep fighting.

I have to admit that it was hard at times. But as soon as I got them to understand that we did not have the money to pay them and to agree to my terms, they would get thier money. So I kept pluggin along with smaller payments to all and it did take us 2 1/2 years to get them all paid in full. We learned a lesson from all of this. Make payment arrangements on the bills you owe BEFORE it gets too far, if you know you don't have enough to pay them in full. Then you won't have to go get payday loans. Plus because of the mess we were in, I am fighting my state to change the payday loan laws. I do NOT want someone else to be in the spot I was in 2 1/2 years ago.

Keep up the fight and you WILL get where I am today
