Will start posting the latest figures in the thread so noone misses them. It is scary to see the overall total - but encouraging to see the total paid rising:
GROUP TARGET FOR 2009: £614492.52
PAID OFF SO FAR: £30603.06
For us to have paid off over £30K by the end of the first month is brilliant - but we'll need twice that a month to reach our target by the year end!!
So keep going everyone it will be worth it in the end.

That's OK - we can all just pay off what we can!
I suspect the amount paid off is actually more than recorded as I am pretty sure the 70+ members are not all remembering to update! 0 -

For the first time in ages I am out of my overdraft! Woohoo, it looks so pretty
.
Unfortunately I will be back in my overdraft soon as February is car insurance/MOT/car tax month.
I'm going to work out my current debt, it will be a bit of a 'false reading' as I have so much to pay in the next month, but calculating how much I've paid off is what keeps me inspired to keep going!Debt at LBM (17/10/08) £5727.61 Debt free date 31/08/090
