How much did we pay off in 2011?

niccatw

Hey folks

Usually around this time of year there is a thread floating around to celebrate how much debt we managed to pay of in the previous year - regardless of where you are in your DFW journey!

As I can't seem to find it, I figured I should probably start it!

This time last year my debt was sitting at around 18k as I'd managed to pay of about 10k!

This year I have paid off a staggering £11,655.34. (I should say I have two jobs and no family. And admit to adding to the debt at one point throughout the year too.) My debt is now just under 8k and hopefully this will be the last year of what has been a long, hard and educational debt-free journey!

How much did you pay off? Add your amount in bold, if you can and highlight the running total, so we can see just how much we have accumulatively paid of in 2011!

Thanks to Numpty Monkey, here's the links to previous years threads:

Last year up until June I paid off £11,598.75, making me debt free! It was the result of lots of on-call payments and a fair bit of overtime which was really helpful, now I'm living to the same budget so I can save up a deposit for a house. I feel bad wishing away my life but roll on January 2013!

Last year I paid off £3,500 in regular payments and in December got a F&F for 50% of a £2,300 debt, so £5,800 in 2011

Still another ~£25,000 to go though, but I am ~20% of the way to the next F&F

May last year I hit the peak of my debt at approx £27K

I've now got approx £8K of debt left to pay. That's without a drastic change in lifestyle :cool:
- if you count giving up a car (that you hardly use) as non-drastic


Running total: £64,183.91
