  • Wow well done :T

    Thank you. We've been in debt for years and the end feels near. This last bit is the new used car we purchased in 2014 and are trying to payoff sooner than the term of the loan :)
  • Hi everyone,

    I've got a couple of chunky debts to pay off, but doing them one at a time snowball fashion.

    My first 1% = £7, currently paid off 35%!

    Have a lovely week, weekend :) x

  • Morning all,
    Hope you've all had a good weekend. I wrote down the wrong 1% figure a few weeks back! 1% for me is £51.85.
    Have been making small daily payments using the payment a day challenge and have managed to get to 17% of CC1 debt paid.
    It's definitely a marathon and not a sprint, but I will get there in the end.x
