Gearing up for Glasgow (or clearing debts by 2014!)

The_Dragon

The 2014 Commonwealth Games kick off 23rd July - having failed miserably to clear my debts by the 2012 Olympics (although I did have a good stab at it and cleared one debt fully) I would like to be debt free by then (still a bit of a marathon journey!) If anyone would like to join me we can have our own Debt free! Games at the end

Ooh this is exciting! I'm uncertain about my ability to make the deadline (unless I get a significant pay bump), but I'll enjoy participating and using it as a good motivator!

Swinstie73

Ooh I'm in as usual! Will definitely have everything cleared before then, but you never know what crops up. I'm in for £12566.00.

Thanks Dragon

Glad to have you on board! Are you putting the whole of your outstanding debt down to clear in the two years or just a section of it?
