    Hi, I'd like to join please! This is a great incentive, thanks for running this!

    We have 2 credit cards and a mortgage on our first house, but I'd like to concentrate on the CCards before the mortgage, as I just dropped the term by 9 years and only raised the payment by £57! (Consider that a win)

    #130 is £0/£5,792.42
    2 Credit Cards: PAYDBX 2018 - #131 £1566.37 / £8594.48 18.2%
