ratestart

Hi All,

I have been reading this thread and would love to join the 10k in 2010 challenge, even though I am not new to the forum. With a day and a few hours to go before the New Year; I would love to challenge myself financially in 2010. I don't have a total yet but cc is at 23K and loan is about 19K.

I love how excited everyone is, it keeps me going and love reading everyone's ideas and thoughts.

I spent 4 hours today sorting through old clothes etc, and got very excited about making some money on ebay to put towards my 10k.

Good luck everyone!!

Hi,

At last count I had around 40k in debt which is very scary. This challenge would really give me a focus to do something about it so I'd like to join. I've just had a clearout and sold loads of things on ebay and amazon to fund christmas. I plan to have another clearout to see what else I find to sell. Other than that does anyone else have any ideas to make some extra cash as my job doesn't come with bonuses or overtime?

Cheers.

Well I've made a start and listed a couple of things on amazon so hopefully should make a wee bit from that. haven't ever sold anything on ebay before so may have a little research tomorrow into the whole selling process. have read through everyone's ideas and going to research some other challenges to help too.

I'm slightly cheating by starting early,but know I'll forget otherwise! Just checked and have earned enough for a £10 amazon voucher from ipsos, have redeemed! Will use either to buy presents or towards the tightwad gazette (I really want a copy and it is not available through my library online database!)

updated my siggy whit woo! I've just been looking at my old snowball and in less than two years I've managed to reduce my debt by almost 17k! This is the first time in years my debt has gone down not up and in that time i've had a new bathroom fitted, a new driveway and new car ( needed it as i turned it into a taxi so it's earning it's keep) i'm determined to leave uni owing less than what i did when i started so when i get my dream job being a nurse i can enjoy it, so happy new year everyone, I'm off to work around a 18 hour shift in the taxi (please let no one puke the car i'm driving has no seat covers :rolleyes:)
