The Debt Free Birthday Club Challenge!

savingholmes

paid another £205 - edging closer very slowly! Hopefully new job starting soon and will be able to blitz the debt - but even that is likely to take around another year of payments!

In the last 12 months have paid off nearly as much as I have earned however so that is great testimony to our improved money management capabilities LOL

Well done savingholmes!

I am now under £3000 owed, and am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. It's going to be tight to repay it all by the end of the year, but I'm up for the challenge!

Woowoo

That's amazing flying_fresian, to be debt free by the end of the year is so exciting, I am very jealous (in a nice way of course!).

I am under £15,500 now (started at £18,650.47 in Aug 09).

Can I change my goal date please? I am now aiming for July 2012!

You're doing really well Woowoo- keep plodding. Great to see you think you can reduce the date by 3 years- good luck!

Gosh, I haven't been here for ages. Good going everyone! I will update my sig at the end of the month when I've paid instalment of s.loan and can more accurately predict if things are going the right way. I've also got accepted for the santander zero card, but it seems to be a very long winding process and still haven't got my card. Will update soon though.

Hi everyone, just wondered how everyone was getting on with the challenge? Haven't posted in waaaay too long but am still very much focused on the DFB goal. I'm definitely on track to pay off the debts declared here by my birthday in November, was really hoping I might have cleared the loan too to be totally debt free, that is looking a little iffy now but never say never!

Anyway, just thought I would pop in and say hello :hello: and hope everyone is still ploughing on!

Hi Shrimpy

I haven't posted for ages either....:o

I am now just under £2,000 owing (:j) and have six months to repay this - works out at about £350 per month to repay, and I think I will be on target for this if all goes to plan :T

How is everyone else doing?
