The Debt Free Birthday Club Challenge!

mooomin

Morning folks!

I could have sworn that Sarah had posted her ticker, but I must be going mad

Anyway, I have paid another £10 from Mr Barclaycard this morning, and so beings the quest to be Debt-Free By 30! I have also put £2.12 in my savings account, which will eventually pay off the loan as this doesn't allow overpayments just total early repayment.

I have redone my ticker so it only includes what I am aiming to pay off as part of this challenge (Although I have paid off over £2,000 of debt before this challenge) so it now shows the slightly depressing figure of 0.2% repaid :rotfl:





Still, 0.2% will become 0.5% and so on and so forth. Positive thinking for the great battle!

The debt I include as of yesterdays date is:

My loan £6,613.88
Barclaycard £380

I am aiming to pay off Barclaycard by the end of next month and then settle down for the long slog to pay off the loan!

Morning all! Hope you are all well.

Just made a payment to my A&L card. It was the minimum payment plus an extra £5...being a bit thick this morning, and can't quite work out how much I'll have actually paid off my card with the interest and all...IYSWIM!!! I'll try to fathom it...

Sorry Silaqui...being nosey...

Thanks Shopgirl! Its for the subject leader job at school, the current one is retiring at the end of the year so thought I'd try and get my head in! Not holding out a massive amount of hope as I have only been teaching 3 years but I'll be properly chuffed if I get it!

I like these tickers that everyones getting, how do they work? Do you just have to keep updating the figures and it moves itself along?

I'm going to my mums tomorrow for lunch and I'm hoping I'm not too old for an Easter egg hehe!

Hi everyone

Can I join in too? Just added up the figures...and have £5675.03 to pay off.

I'm going to choose 31st December 2009 for my debt free date. How great would it be to start a new year with no debt? :j

Good luck everyone.

Not going mad F_F, I did post it! But all I could see was the web address, and assumed that is all that was there, so deleted it!

Will give it another go in a bit
