NUMBER 7 checking in I now have £70 towards my £110. I feel a bit defeated as I'm still £30 off my first 1% and this was supposed to motivate me I don't think I'm trying hard enough so I'm going to do a budget planner tonight - help. Well done all you proper debt buster people.

Blackberrycurved - Well done on getting £70 towards your first 1%. Don't feel defeated if it takes a while, however if it is making it seem like too much of an uphill struggle you could always split your debt and tackle a smaller target for the time being? It's completely up to you. My 1% figure is my debt payment target for the year and not 1% of my total debt, as for me it would be far too depressing using the whole debt figure!! You're doing really well. Keep going

Hello:-)

Would love to join. My debt is 10k so 1% is £100 :eek:

Reading the ways everyone else is managing is really encouraging!

Or another way to do it is to concentrate on one debt at a time until the whole debt is more manageable i.e. smallest debt or highest interest, whichever you feel will give you more motivation.

I agree, I'm just focusing on one debt so I am getting 1-2% a week. If I was doing my whole debt I'd only have got about 2% in the past couple of months.

number 48, 15% paid off surveys. What a big milestone, really pleased with this.

Number 48 checking in with 18% paid, so 82% remaining. About £54 until I am at 20%, really looking forward to that milestone but do wish it was happening faster. Clearing about 10% a month so a long way to go.
