Megan and Creagh never thought they’d be in the position of being in $91,000 worth of debt.
But fast forward a year, now the most incredible part wasn’t that the debt existed, it was that they managed to pay it off in less than 12 months – and save for a house deposit at the same time.
The couple, who’ve been married for 18 months, reversed their fortunes in a way they didn’t think they could so quickly.
Megan, 32, an administration assistant, and Creagh, 33, a warehouse manager, never intended to accrue such a large amount of personal debt.
But, as with many couples simply wanting a modern lifestyle, their desires came at a cost.
Megan spoke to Mamamia to explain their incredible story.

That’s $1750 a week off the debt (not including interest charges) plus saved for a house deposit? Must have a huge income!
Clearly careers as an administration assistant or a warehouse manager are far more lucrative than I expected.
