    Debt Free!

    So now onto my new challenges...don't want to get too lazy now the money's paid off...

    1. Save £3,000 by 30. This gives me 14 months to complete, which works out to £215 per month to save.

    2. Set up Car Money Pot. By start of October I want to have a savings account devoted to car related costs. Worked out I will need to put £50 in a month to keep all costs covered throughout the year.

    3. Set up Daily Money Pot. By start of November I want to have a savings account devoted to haircuts / dentist / birthdays / Christmas / gas / electric / rent contract. Worked out I will need to put £100 in a month to keep all costs covered throughout the year.

    4. Holiday Fund. By November aim to set up an account to which I pay in £50ish to cover holidays, travel and alike.

    5. Get down to 120 pounds. I like it, its a nice even number! At the moment stand at about 132.

    6. [STRIKE]Complete OU course. By October successfully complete a 60 point course.[/STRIKE]

    7. [STRIKE]Enrol on October start OU course. Want to get another one under my belt, so need to sign up soon.[/STRIKE]

    8. [STRIKE]Take a holiday. Easy one![/STRIKE] Booked!
