I'd love to join please. We got married at Christmas and are starting married life with just over £20,000 of debt, which is devastating us.
I'm setting a target of £10,000 to be made in payments which should reduce the overall debt by £9,200 since a lot of it is (thankfully) on 0%.
So far we've made payments of £678/£10,000 since the 1st January.
Here's to a DFW year!!
Thanks for the thread Jwil :beer:

Yes, it is. I saw the northern lights whilst I was there - hands down the most amazing experience I've had. Just sat on the sea front by the Viking ship watching the lights, fantastic."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".
