  • Hi! #38 here!

    I've actually made over £600 extra this year, but I'm resetting my target to try and be debt free by Christmas! New goal is £1838.55, so 1% is £18.38.

    I haven't got a lot of stuff left to sell and my attempt at surveys are not going well so I'm not sure yet how I'm going to hit it...

    Current goal: €151,000 deposit Ireland and counting, to buy Spring 2022 we hope!
  • Right! Great start to my challenge refresh. I've just been paid the £53.04 I have been waiting for from webuybooks.

    £53.04/1838.56, now at 2.8%!

    I haven't got any more pending money so today the plan is to photo and list a few more bits on ebay and gumtree. I am toying with selling a computer console I don't use but was a big gift.... I also have old phones and mp3 players, a really old kindle. So I'm going to explore how to wipe memory and sell these.

    Hi would love to join please.

    My debt is £3297.37 so 1% is £33 please.

    My 0% runs out in December 2019, my minimum repayment is 1%.

    I!!!8217;ve calculated that I need to make 5% a month to be able to clear it by December 2019. That just £165 a month.

    Seems doable to me :)

    Hi ellie.52,
    Welcome to the 1% challenge. I've assigned you number 62. If you could mention your number when checking in that'd be great. Good luck with your 1%s.

  • £10.54 made so now at £63.58/1838.56, #38 now at 3.4%!

    Surprised how such a small amount made is actually almost 5% of my total. Just £28.32 to get to 5%!
