A Payment A Day - Part 8!

Paulgonnabedebtfree

A PAD of £50.14 today from me. I've decided to attack one of the smaller debts and try to get it shifted by the end of the month. It's not my highest interest debt but I need a little bit of the feelgood factor that goes with getting rid of it. So it's not the most MSE way but sometimes I guess I need to do things a bit differently. I've been PADing for about 15 or 16 months and this will be my first debt clearance of the debts that were around when I started. It's a trivial amount relative to my other debts and it's stuck around too long.
This is going to be the year of starting to kick some debts into touch bit by bit. A loan will end much later this year. I also want one more debt out of what's left of my hair by the year end and to be fully up to date with my income tax. I could clear more debts but I don't want to do that instead of keeping up with the taxman.
At least the customers have started paying again so that is helping a huge amount.

I see this thread was started by someone called Emily Hallett. I wonder if she had any idea what she was starting when she began it. I just looked at some of the old posts and see it started in August 2008 and gradually evolved.
It caused me to wonder if others had any idea what would develop when they started something:
Things like the film "Alien" when the alien burst through the astronaut's belly. Surely the person who wrote that scene had no idea that people would still bring that up decades later. Or the person who originally wrote "Star Trek". Can you believe it was only meant to go on for six episodes? - one short series. I think that was back in the 60s. Or the person who wrote the first series of Dr Who.
I can see the PAD threads still being around long after I've departed this earth (not too soon hopefully ).

Paul: I am totally with you in trying to clear a smaller lower interest debt for the feelgood factor - I think we all need that once in a while. I am currently tackling my Amex Blue card - low balance, joint lowest interest rate of the lot - partly because the minimum payment is quite high as a proportion of the balance, but mainly because it will be clear very soon and it will make me feel so much better when it is clear.

Another 5 Euro's added to the sealed pot today. Using oanda.com's exchange rate of 0.90505, that is a PAD of £4.53.

Have a good day all x
