Good evening all
No55 checking in with 24% paid!
Speeding along rather quicker than anticipated due to major budget slashing and working every available hour!!Lloyds Loan (£0/£6000) Emergency Fund (£113/£1000) ISA £592.240 -
Can I join please? :-)
I used the 1% grids last time which really helped and stopped me getting overwhelmed with the big figure.
I’m going to tackle one debt at a time & I’m getting rid of the smallest first so my overdraft of £500 is my first target.
1% = £5. I’m currently using £250 of it at the moment but if I aim for the full £500 there will be enough in my account to safely remove the OD without causing cashflow trouble. Doing some overtime on Sunday which will help me reach it.
Thanks x0 -
