    Hello,

    I’d love to join this challenge. Small steps seems like a good idea and I love the idea of celebrating each 1%

    Total debt is £11,031.10 (includes x3 Credit Cards and Car Finance).

    So Lauralozzle - Total Debt: £11,031.10. 1% = £111

    Looking at it like that doesn’t look so bad after all. :)

    Hi, welcome to the 1% challenge. I have assigned you number 26 on the challengers list. If you could mention your number when checking in that’d be great. Good luck with your 1%s.

    Hiya, would love to join this!

    The debt I'm tackling is £3990 - so 1% is 39.90

    Currently decluttering and selling any junk of value - hoping to raise 10% this way!

    Goodmorning all, Number 23 here. Can I change my 1% to £30 please. Refocusing my debt strategy before the new year begins and want to make it realistic for me for 2018.

    Morning, I’ve just changed your 1% figure. It’s definitely more motivating to have a realistic figure. I’ve had to do the same, as it’s too depressing to do 1% of all my debt!!
