Fuchsia Pink DFD - debt free by 2017...

in Debt free diaries
Long time lurker, decided I needed to tackle my debt just before Christmas, and made some plans. It isn't unmanageable at the moment (by that I mean it isn't crippling me or stopping me being able to buy food) and I spent last night doing a few sums and projections. If I keep my current job and earnings (touch wood) and keep up the extra payments I've started I worked out I will be totally debt free by May 2017!

It's so far away that to stay motivated I thought I'd start this thread as my personal journey log, so that when I'm tempted to spend money I don't have I can hopefully come here and see how far I've come!!!

Total debt today:
£23,068 (rounded upto nearest £1)
