  • Hi there, can I join please? I'm afraid there's no way I can pay off all my debt by christmas but I'd like to pay off at least half. Could you please put me down for £10,000?

    Please can I join in?

    Id like to clear £4000 if possible - overall debt is a lot bigger than that, but I reckon with a new baby (due soon) 4k will hopefully be do-able...

  • Hi Everyone

    Aim to pay £15,000

    Welcome Brogden, good luck and welcome from a fellow forumite with an eye-watering target :wave: Mine was £58k when I joined the 2012 challenge so not far off yours, it can be done :)


    Happy New Year all. My bank shows DDs for tomorrow so a payment has gone out...

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: That wasn't quietly! That's a hell of a target, good luck.

    I'll get a number assigned to all the newbies tomorrow, as I'm in work until then. I've updated the student loan estimator tool for last month's payment, and my total outstanding is about £5 less than expected. Free money, woop! Sig updated :)

    Trudi - when are you due? Congrats!

    I'm on maternity leave at the moment so your post hit me. I have to say that if anything this year (well, last year now!) I cleared the most debt I ever have. Being on statutory pay means you have to start really looking at where your money goes - and makes you more appreciative of it too. Hopefully it will have the same effect on you!

    Having our baby has also made me want to get rid of our debt. I don't want her to be raised in our house thinking debt is OK etc. I also want to think about our future and not have niggles constantly at the back of my mind - or be paying XX% of our monthly income straight to a black hole of debt! Best of luck for your journey!
