  • That's it, I'm in.

    It's be a tough few years for me, not really financially although my income has been up and down and up and down causing a lot of stress, but now things are starting to settle down I'm in for the challenge.

    Next year I was to get together the deposit for a house. I just can't stand seeing my money pour out to pay rent any more so here goes.

    £12,000 extra income in 2012. How will you do it? I already have my idea. It'll take a lot of time (which fortunately I have) and a little initial investment, but it is tax free.
  • I'm in. I know I won't make the £12,000 mark but anything I make will be a bonus!
    DEBT TOTAL: £7609.44
  • One Million percent in...

    When I did the £10K for 2010 Challenge I got around £3500, I probably made about £1500 before I had to pull out due to a number of reasons - life and all that! (although my signature doesn't reflect that... I will update it soon!!!)
    But, this year coming I am seriously ready, I have a number of personal projects that I believe will be profitable ready to go and a few ideas that I will be implementing.
    So, based on what I have in mind I think that £12,000 for 2012 is doable. I really want to do this! So, I'm revved up and ready to go! Count me in!!!

  • I've decided I'm going to include any overtime, multibuy offers, any freelance jobs I may get accepted for and any money from any NSDs although the overtime money will end up going to clearing off some debts.

    well hi everyone some great ideas i think i am going to apply to nhs 24 for a second job ,the interview process has always put me off but the moneys good and the advert isback up ,any clerks out there they have a bank for these too
    So finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x
  • I'm in. I won't get anywhere near £12k (I only managed about half of £11k) but I think it's always better to aim high and miss than aim low.
    As with last year I'll be counting the amount that I reduce my debt by rather than amounts I earn.
  • Right I'm going to be cheeky and begin my signature now for £12000 for 2012. As I got some money today and I am putting it aside for the challenge.

    Yeah! I'm totally up for doing this!!!! :D Me and the boyf are now saving together (as I am pregnant and we need to buy ourselves a little flat/home in 2 years time) so I am confident that we can achieve it with both incomes put together :D
