One man who is bent on ridding himself of all his debt proved just how serious he is about doing so by heading online to show off his cut-up retail store cards.

The Twitter user, @Brian_Thee_MVP, shared pictures of his Woolworths store card and Mr Price store account, not so much in their original condition, but shredded up to ensure he never gives in to his impulsive urges.

The caption read:

"Paid off [one] loan yesterday. Just need to close off these two as well. Wanna enjoy my salary now, ay."

Judging by his assertiveness, the proactive fella is every bit as bent on freeing up his cash flow and, as he points out, start enjoying his hard-earned money.

But all this will now depend on how quickly he manages to pay off the two store accounts, after bidding adieu to a loan he had, as destroying the cards is only the first step in ensuring he keeps the urge of using them at bay.

Locals were excited for him while stressing that he keeps to his commitment. Others shared their own experiences about managing credit, even urging one another to check their credit report every so often.
