I like the new sig Happy!
Is that 23% of your wages every month or a 23% total reduction that you're going for?Debt at LBM Apr 2010 £28,767 Debt free as of Nov 2013 :j0 -

Wow, I know percentages are better but I should still check what they mean in figures first! :rotfl:
Gonna change to a 65% total reduction - that means I still have to find another £13,317 by Dec 2011 and that's without including interest! :eek:
So... 18%/65%Debt at LBM Apr 2010 £28,767 Debt free as of Nov 2013 :j0 -

I think December is the wrong month to be aiming for a 100% debt reduction but never mind!
Oh and mines is...48%/100%VSP - £14.76 | Saving for a Deposit0 -

:rotfl::rotfl:I know!
The problem is I like to aim high - if the target is too easy I feel like I can slack, but at the same time I've really got to start learning some realism (24K in a year springs to mind)
