I don't think anyone does, but I just post my percentage every now and then to keep me somewhat accountable and I like to see the progress we've made &#55357;&#56832;

I half heartedly joined in 2015, no further along, but a couple of months ago I restarted at home, a spredsheet, and no pressure.
Debt was £6633.00 so 1% = £66.33 so far 3% paid and i've fixed my direct debit at £20 above what my minimum repayment was. In it for the long haul this time!!

I've also started a £60 saving challenge. Where the plan was, I put £1 then £2 then £3, then £4 etc up until £60, but decided to do it in reverse so the challenge would get easier instead of harder. So I started at £60, then £59, then £58 etc until I get to £1 so I should end with £1830. (if i've added up correctly) Thats going well i've made 4 payments so far.

I use a spread sheet for both and colour in the squares as I achieve a payment, so I can visually see progress.
