I've decided to tackle a different way . I've been great at no longer spending on Cc's . Don't think I've spent anything on them since June but what I sometimes do is budget so tightly if anything unplanned comes up I can't pay so this year I've decided to split into monthly payments that will pay off by Dec rather than push as much as I can into it too quick ( was orig planning Aug ) . That will allow me to get to £0 by year end and have a bit of extra saved for emergencies. I've also inc a bit of spare into budget just to have as spends . Most of debt on cc's with interest free so will pace it out to have a life, cover unplanned and get debt gone !#28 pay all your debts by Xmas 2019 £2682/7000:)

Paid £480 today this is massive for me at the minute so it might mean I don't make no payments in Feb or March but I thought it was better to do it now why I have it before it gets used for something else. Just done a bit of a realistic rain check and without a proper job I won't be debt free until 2018 but you never know life changes on a phonecall.Total debt £18,000 at the start of DFW Journey. 2018 14TH JULY 2021 DEBT FREE / 2026 trying to stay debt free0
