Long time lurker

Hi All

I am a long time lurker on this forum and have found all the advice invaluable I am just over £5000 in debt between loans and an overdraft:eek:.

I am also a confessed spreadsheetaholic I have all my money worked out between now and the end of the year which shows me how much I can pay off each month and budget for the year as well as individual sheets for each months and a total spreadsheet for my debts which I update whenever I make a payment.

I hope to clear all my debts by the end of the year £4000 using my salary and the remaining £1000 using the 1% system.

Wish me luck I will be signing up to some of the challenges and hopefully checking in regularly will keep me on the straight and narrow.

Thanks for reading

Good Luck!

Spreadsheets are great, it's a great feeling to see the numbers changing and I think planning gives you back a sense of control

Good luck vike!

No doubt you will get there

Good luck!

Spreadsheets, in my opinion, are really important when debt-busting! Saves having reams of paper, pencils and a calculator. It's all there ready for you to tinker with figures! :cool:

I really need/want to start some spreadsheets to help me see some breakthrough in my debt repayments so is there anyway you can post an example of one of yours on here so I can see the best way to do it?

Hi Anna

I don't mind sharing them I cant seem to find how to attach images to posts though.

there might also be a way of just giving you the files and you tweaking them to suit yourself.

If you know a way of doing this let me know I'd be happy to help they've really helped me.

Hi vike349 and thanks! Ok, maybe a screenshot pasted to the reply box? Or alternatively am I allowed to give you an email address?

Hi Anna

I tried pasting it but it will only take url links you could PM me your email address maybe create a free one with hotmail if it makes you feel better and I can just send you the files for you to tweak.
