Hi, I'd like to start this challenge. I know I'm a little late to the party but I thought it might give me a head start on next year.
My total debt is £19095.99. That makes my 1% £191.
I have a car on finance at 0%, a bank loan at 4.5%, a 0% credit card and a sofa on finance at 0%.
My current monthly payments are £329.72 (only paying the minimum payment on my card though) so if nothing else I'm paying 1.7% per month.
I'd like to get to between 30 and 40% by the end of 2019. If I could get to 50% I'd be ecstatic.
My main reason for getting into debt was overspending, but I have sorted that out so it's time to get this debt reduced.0 -

Hi Danthewelder,
Welcome to the 1% challenge. I've assigned you number 67. If you could mention your number when checking in that'd be great. Good luck with your 1%s.LBM Aug 2017.
