Clear a debt by 2017

Options
I know there are challenges to clear all of your debts by Christmas, and there is the clear a debt in 100 days but I couldn't see one to clear a debt by 2017?

If there isn't one, would anyone like to join me?
Preferably pick the debt with the highest interest rate if at all possible?

I find the challenges here are really motivating for me and I have set myself this challenge (on track so far with my extra payments on my bank loan).

Tush

    Do you mean by 1st January 2017 or by anytime during 2017?

    I meant by 2017. I want to start the new year with one less debt (if possible)
    I couldn't find a challenge already but if someone could link me to it if it exists I would be very grateful! xx
