    Thank you for running this challenge, please may I sign up?

    My total debt is £5,775.07 meaning my 1% is £57.76.

    Thanks!

    Hi, welcome to the 1% challenge. I have assigned you number 16 on the challengers list. If you could mention your number when checking in that’d be great. Good luck with your 1%s.

  • #2 checking in with a massive 0.6% to report! Haha. Don't worry about adding that to the list though as it's ridiculous and it'll change in a week. I'm looking forward to the end of the month as I'll be making a 50% payment on one debt and then in the first week of January I'm paying off a different debt. That should help me get my first few %.
  • Hi, could I join please? My 1 percent is £14.

    Please can I play? I owe £4018 so 1% rounded up is £41. I like this idea!:)
    1% challenge - £4018 - reduce by 100 payments of £41.
  • Thanks for putting this together! At the moment I don't have much debt apart from my student loan which I will not consider for now.
    But I would like to join and save towards my car insurance/mot/servicing bill in March. I expect this to be just under £600. I know its quite small but, I don't want to take this out of my monthly income/emergency fund because it will really throw off my saving momentum.

  • Hi can I join as well please :-)
    I couldn’t cope doing 1% of my whole debt so would like to start with my smaller debt. My 1% would be £9. 100 payments of £9 I can do this! It makes it sound so much easier! Xx
