Debt-free and Proud!

Hey Guys!


We saw mennie's post back in 2012 encouraging everyone to make £2012 and Its been going ever since! I've decided to recreate the challenge for 2016 as last year it massively helped me to be more creative and get out of debt!

So, the challenge here is to make £2016 in 2016. Whether that's from savings or by boosting your income somehow, it all counts!

mennie suggested setting up a spreadsheet to keep track of your earnings using the following categories...
  • Selling - Ebay, Amazon Market Place, Music Magpie, Local Paper, Boot Fair, Swapping, Green Metropolis
  • Surveys - You Gov, one poll, Pure Profile
  • Paid to Click - Archer Fish, Pigsback
  • Cashback - Top Cashback, R Points, Free Fivers, Quidco, FatCheese, My Shopping Rewards, Misc
  • Mystery Shopping - Grass Roots, Gap Buster, Retail Eyes
  • Freebies - Applied for, Blagged, Multibuys, Chance, Try me free
  • Coupons - Applied for, Blagged, chance
  • Loyalty - Club Card, Nectar, local garden centre, east coast, cafe nero, advantage cards
  • Complaints - Train delay, voucher, cheque, product
  • Trials - Tesco, Boots
  • Misc - unfranked stamps, overtime, bonus, competition wins, money found on floor, Interest
I'm happy to keep track of those signing up to the challenge below! Let me know if you would like to join and happy money making! :T

  • There is an easy way to make 2016 with just a tenner or so.

    It's called 'santa claus rally' where the market takes a steep hike ay the end of the year. Concept involves spread betting. It happens 70 to 80% of the time.

    Hey!

    There is a whole thread on here regarding money found or 'Roadkill' as they call it. I personally would keep anything under £1 but hand in anything over. I once found £50 in the high street & took to the police they take your details and after a set about of time they gave me it back as it wasn't reclaimed! But each to their own.

    Good luck if you decide to join us :)

    Hi, I'd really like to try this next year, so count me in. I'll set my spreadsheet up over the holidays so I'm ready to go in January.
