    Debt-free and Proud!
    Time to declare my challenge end total:

    :rudolf: £6500/£10000 65% :rudolf:

    I didn't quite make it to the full 100% (as i doubled my 2013 debt buying a car) but i think've still done well and just managed my 65% revised target.

    See you all in the 2014 thread!

    I'm really looking forward to the challenge next year. There is no way I would have achieved as much as I have without this challenge.

    I'm not fussed if we start from current figures or from zero as long as at the end of 2014 the debt balance is a big, fat zero.

    Merry Christmas to you all and thank you for all your support in the last year. You're all fabulous.:T:T:T

    Merry Christmas!!!!! :)
  • Merry Christmas everyone!

    :rudolf::santa2: (oh I quite like these Christmas ones!)

    I am quite excited to see the totals appearing on the challenge spreadsheet - we have an amazing number of debt free members, and have paid off an impressive amount between us all! Those poor credit card companies just won't know what's happening! :rotfl:

    Very pleased to see so many people are going to stay with us next year to kiss goodbye to even more debt. :T

    I'm going to wait until this evening before I post the summary for the year, just in case any more updates appear throughout the day. Until then :xmassign:
