  • I'd like to join too!! :D

    My main goal is to minimise my expenditure - the less I spend, the more I can save! :j

    I am aiming to save £500 between December 21st 2014 and June 22nd 2015....not easy as I am on a six month sabbatical from work and we are therefore living on one income!! :shocked: But, with careful planning and taking lots of advice from these boards, I am confident that I can do it!! ;)

    I aim to reach my target by making savings from my current budget - I may also do a few sales here and there, but any additional cash I make will be allocated to a separate fund...this is reduction funding only!! :rotfl:

    Mortgage OP £50/£600 House Fund £420/£5000
  • In a bid to get ready for the new year and hit my targets, I've gone a bit spreadsheet crazy lol

    If I managed to make £10 a month from each of the survey, mystery shopping and PTC sites I'm signed up with, I'd probably be a millionaire by next year lol

    Hi,
    I'd like to join in. 2015 is the year I will make headway into my debt, despite having a greatly reduced income.
    I'd like to pay off my credit card. The balance is £5460.
    I will pay this off, hook or by crook in 2015. (Then I can start on the next one...)
  • Hi, I would like to join please. Accurate figures will be tallied this weekend (if not sooner). 2015 is going to be the year that I tidy up a few debts.
    Good luck to everyone, I am preparing for a bumpy ride.
    Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task

  • Hi, I would like to join please. I have about £20k debt and very little disposable income, but I am starting a new job around March/April so fingers crossed things will improve. I have 4 children and a new baby due in February so that will reduce income even more.

    My aim for 2015 is to pay off a minimum of £5k. I can't wait til there are a few more 2015 challenges to get me started on my debt free journey but for now I will be reading through old ones, creating a giant spreadsheet, updating my forum signature and checking credit files etc so plenty to keep me busy!

    Good luck all.

  • In order to make 2015 debt free plan as feasible as possible I applied for a second 0% credit card with balance transfers so I can close the expensive one. I found out now I was successful. I am now ready for our 2015 challenge!
