£10k New Years Resolution - Who wants in?

wissychraddle · 17 December 2007 at 4:55PM

Hi i'm CJ,

Haven't really been over on this forum much, usually on the Grabbit forum 'cos I always love a bargain.

Right here's my plan. I have just taken an extra 2k on my loan to pay off my credit card and now my outstanding loan is @ 9k.

I wanted to set a target to pay off my loan in a year, so I thought i'd round it up to a neat ten.

Just wondered if anyone would like to join in and we can help each other out and spur eachother on.

Anyway here's my plan.

I am going to try and do the £10 a day clickathon challenge by gettin paid for clicking on websites, 5 days a week for 52 weeks
= £2600.00

The car I bought for 5k when I first got the loan will probably sell for 3k at the end of next year, so
= £3000.00

I am registered with QuidCo and already have £30 since 1st Dec through making purchases, will continue to do this and do internet shopping for family and friends saving money for them by buying the bargains and I get the commission in return.
= £1000.00

Overtime from work
= £1400.00

I have made approx £200 on eBay in the past couple of months and I am going to use this money to buy goods and sell them on at a profit on eBay and in the local paper etc... I am going to save up the money in a high interest saving account but one that I can access readily to buy stock.
= £2000.00

So my total £10,000.oo target by 31st December 2008.

My reward for doing this, hire purchasing/leasing a brand new motor and not tying myself down to anymore debt.

Can I do it anyone else want to join me??

Any money saving/making ideas to help me are welcomed....

Christmas wishes all....

CJ

There is a challenge to pay of £20k ish by xmas 2008 and Im doing that but I know Im not going to make the full £20k so Ive set myself a target of £10K it might be worth taking a look at that thread.
There a tips etc on there and its helped keep me motivated

I'm in. There is only an outside chance that I can reach 10k...but it would be fabulous if I did as I would then be debt free.

Let's do it.....

Just wanted to wish you luck with this. Sounds like you have a great plan.

Do you know anything about Matched Betting. I know it is very complicated but a lot of people have been very successful and earned a lot of money with is. I think it's just very important that you know what you're doing and then you can't lose (or so they say)

you have mention the £2k from ebay twice.

I hope i've not put a dampner on it.

Sorted don't worry, didn't calculate it in twice, I think!?!

I would love to pay £10000 off my next as that would put me well on my way to being debt free by the time I am 30.

A quick calculation means to pay that in 1 year it will work out at £833.33 per month or £192.31 per week :eek:

I am thinking I will be doing a lot more ebaying!!!
