Welcome aboard @AntoMac 😁.
You can PAD whatever you want. Some people track debt, some track savings, some track minimum or regular payments, some track overpayments and some track a bit of everything. Or just pop by to check in with everyone. It just depends on what works for you.
But I would advise checking in as often as you can even if you can't afford a PAD, as it gets quite addictive and you get to see how other people are getting on and how every little bit can all add up... 👍🏾.Debt Free Diary:- The Mental Debt Struggle

Oh it's so nice to wake up in the middle of the night and to have actually been cold enough to crawl under the duvet 😁.
The total PAD for 19 July 2022 was a very impressive £243.34.
Our monthly total is so impressive, keep going everyone and have a good day.Debt Free Diary:- The Mental Debt Struggle
