  • So my final total for this year is a rather amazing:
    #020 £16,715/£16,550.
    I would love to say that that makes me debt free but sadly this isn't so. I have 3 remaining loans and a credit card (although the totals left are quite low), plus I still owe money to the bank of Mum and Dad. So like many others I will be back next year. By my calculations next year will be the one when I finally get my name on that Debt Free Roll! So Merry Christmas to you all and looking forward to beating those debts in the New Year.
    Paid off £16,715/£16,550 by Christmas 2013
    Now to pay off all remaining debts by Christmas 2014
    Total to pay #041 £7,086.97/£16,500
    Only £9,413.03 to go :eek:

  • Well done brightpurple that's a great amount to have paid off!
  • Thank you minicooper272, I'm really pleased with the amount I have paid off this year. Wouldn't have done it without the motivation provided by everyone on this forum. So a big thank you all round.

    Congratulations to everyone on doing so well - quite a bit better than me - in paying off the debts. Have just done the final calculations for the year, and from a low point of £28,113, We have paid off £6,832, so now at £21,281.

    So I will definitely be back for next year. Thanks to all those who have posted on this thread - it did keep me going through the down times. Have a great 2014, everyone.

    Wow that's an amazing total. Would like to thank spagbol and more recently minicooper for running the thread. I'm so looking forward to starting 2014 with less debt and can't wait to start paying off the cc and for that to be gone. Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas day.

    Well if those figures don't keep us going nothing will. It's so good to see so many members getting debt free. I hope a beat those figures next year.

    Thanks spag Bol for running the last challenge and to Minicooper for running the new one.
