    #9 checking in to say, we finally did it :j, £5600 paid out of £5600

    That's only the amount this year, the highest was somewhere in the upper to mid £30k a few years ago. After countless years going up and down in debt but never getting that far, it's done, and we even have some savings. We are in our mid/late 40s and really need to concentrate on increasing our savings

    Thank you all, especially muppets, for running this thread the last few years. I don't post much but I do read often. Best of luck to all of you


    :j:j:j:jI am so happy to see this, you worked so hard to clear this the last few years. This is so well deserved. :beer:

    Morning everyone,

    I settled one of my accounts with a 65% discount so #150s updated total is £4149.05/£2018.

    I've still got 3 credit cards to pay off so I'll keep going with the challenge but I'm not going to set a new target as I also need to rebuild my emergency fund (used it settle the said account) which will take priority.
    CONGRATS :j swimminginaseaofdebt for smashing your 2018 target. Can't wait to see what your totals are at the end of the year.
