SS's 2007 Debt Free Challenge

So here we are. A brand new year, a brand new challenge, and a renewed determination to become debt free and I'm hoping 2007 will be the year I do it! :D

I know it's a very tall order but a wise man once said (it might even have been Homer Simpson :p ) "it's better to aim high and fail, than to aim low and succeed."

So thats what I intend to do.


I'm gonna be relying heavily on matched betting, Quidco etc.


So here we go. Wish me luck. :)

    Best of luck - brilliant way to think about it. I've worked out I'll have to pay off £1266 a month to clear all my debts which is about how much I earn a month however like you say Aim High. I just need to think creatively about a way I can earn some extra cash. Anything is possible.

    So, Ebay (sell everything I don't want) and think up a new business idea.... I don't understand this matched betting - can you help me out?

    Scouse, couldn't you bully Egg into a 0% card as you don't owe anything on it and then transfer one of your higher rates over to that one.

    Good luck anyway
