Yey! I have a balance of £994 on my student loan! Delighted!! Was hoping it was around a grand.
Oh actually it's....£254.70!!
Just realised the £994 didn't factor in this years payments. Only three (well 2 & a bit) more payments then I have an extra £91 a month to throw at my debt!!! :cool::eek:
Edit - Also, I have increased my DD to £300 a month & made it straight after pay day as interest it daily. Yes...I actually read the t&cs on the back of my CC statement! From January this will be increased to £500 (£100ish from the end of my student loan & £100ish from cancelled storage space).
Can't wait to go home and play with my snowball calculator...:DCC1 - [STRIKE]£8746[/STRIKE] £2801 71%LBM September 2012 - Current DFD Oct 14

Ooh & I listed my first bit of furniture on eBay. I need to head over to my storage lockup & actually write down everything worth selling. I'll probably do that tomorrow afternoon.
I'm becoming an organised person. Blimey.CC1 - [STRIKE]£8746[/STRIKE] £2801 71%LBM September 2012 - Current DFD Oct 14

Jan 14 isent that long really~only 15 months
I know! So pleased! Originally it was Jan15. Praised the Gods of Snowballing!!
I'm hoping to do t even sooner but I want to test out a month of really sacrificing to see how much I really have left over. I'm currently playing around with figures to see if I can live on just £700 a month leaving £1k left over for the CC but not sure how realistic that is yet.CC1 - [STRIKE]£8746[/STRIKE] £2801 71%LBM September 2012 - Current DFD Oct 14
