    My new total paid is £2316.12 update when you can dragon - we are missing you! I can't wait until end of October as my smallest CC will be under 1k - yay me! I might even just manage to clear it by Crimbo - fingers crossed.

    Well done everyone, there's lots of super debt reducing going on.

  • I'm bowing out gracefully. We have just started on our DMP so there is no chance us paying it all off before 2012 :eek:

    Oh well - we'll get there in the end, one way or another. Keep up the good work guys!

    Hi all,

    Have just got my settlement figure for my loan (been saving up to pay it off), so my total debt now sits at £2,659.50, was at £8,448.46 so £5,788.96 paid off - only six months to go (I hope).

    P.S. Well done everyone else!

    Hi babyhead,

    I think its a shame you're bowing out. Can you not stay with us but just adjust your target amount to pay off? Reduce it to whatever you think you will pay off by 2012. Even if it is fixed payments, its still you're money and you are still paying your debt. You never know your circumstances could change and you may exceed it. It will keep you motivated and you can always join another challenge after this for whatever is left. That said, I respect your decision if its the best one for you. :) Good luck.
  • Hi every1, Had my LBM last month and since then been doin the odd challenge to save money where ever i can, so far our total debt is £28,536.16, (SCARY) and we have also decided to get it all paid off by July 2012. (fingers crossed). I will update my sig regulary to keep tabs at where we are at.

    Gonna start with our personal loan as this is our biggest monthly payment. Hoping to make a big over payment on wednesday or friday of this week.

    Goodluck to all with challenge.

    Bye For Now CF54..
    YNAB is my new best friend. :)
