After getting my statement for one of my CCs yesterday, I have now paid it off in full (second card I have cleared in a week!) and now owe less than 10% of my original debt!
9% counts as single figures right?
By the end of May I am hoping to have it down to below £3k - and with a bit of effort, should be debt free by the end of October this year
That is a full year ahead of the DFD I worked out when first joining this site! (I dread to think how far ahead of my original debt free date it is, probably about a decade :rotfl:)
