I think I should join this thread! Sometimes I look at my debt and think :eek: ! I know it's not as bad as it could be, and many are I a MUCH worse situation, but I literally have nothing to show for this debt, I'm being served notice on my rented house and am now facing redundancy in the very near future! To break my debt down will make it seem so much more manageable, and will also motivate me a lot more I think!
So here goes. My 1% is £90.
I would like to have 5% by the end of this month (which will also fit in nicely with my £500 on the £10 a day challenge!) Then realistically I could maintain 2-3% on top of my normal wage a month, with hopefully adding a couple more % from any left over wage I have at the end of each month.
I need to average 6-7% a month to hit my DFD of Christmas 2018. Here goes!0 -
