2018 1% Challenge - 100 ways to make your 1%

Number 2 Checking in with 15% cleared. There will be no more large payments now until the one due in April unless I win the lottery so things will slow right down and I'll be lucky to get 1% over 2 months. At least it's a good start though.

I took advantage of a discount offered to me by a DCA on a debt I hadn't set up a payment plan for. They now have £1 a month to look forward to and I save nearly £70!

I returned a vehicle I was paying on HP today. It was with a small company so I could just stop repayments and give it back at any time. I have to hope my van goes through its MOT tomorrow. I have no savings to fix it and will end up selling if it's too bad, and that may break my heart cos I love the thing! Hope everyone is well xx

It's a start! We won't have much money till the end of the month so I've bagged up my change jar, swept up the bits of change from all my accounts and saved the leftover shopping money. It's all been put in a separate TSB account.

Looking forward to making a real dent

Sold a teddy bear today for £5, gave £2 to my husband, £3 in my Christmas savings jar. Not yet reached 1% but it will come at difference paces during the year.

Hi, welcome to the 1% challenge. I’ve assigned you number 30. If you could mention your number when checking in that’d be great. Good luck with your 1%s.
