    Now I can start saving instead of paying money to others! This thread has been so helpful, it almost becomes addictive trying to make saving so I can pay a little more off.

    Thanks to everyone for there help.

    Hi Grassgirl,

    I worked mine out to be £765 a month to clear the debts before the end of the year, so about £25 a day ish .

    My monthly direct debit payments come to £540 a month, and I make an extra payment of £128 every month which used to go to my student loan that is finished now.

    So it's an extra £97 a month for me to find.

    Fingers crossed it should be doable.

    Matt.

    That's quite an interesting idea. To clear my target this year it would be about £11 a day, to clear my overal debt would be £28 a day! Wow!
