    Just state how much debt you'd like to pay off by Christmas. Muppets will give you a number which you should then include any time you make an update to your progress. More details are in the first post of the thread.

    Hello everyone!

    Please can I join this challenge?

    I have £57,460.88 total debt at the moment from some large purchases and house renovations.

    Aiming to have this down to £30,000 by the end of this year so my goal is to clear £27,460.88 by Xmas 19 and the remainder in 2020.

    I have taken on a second job to pay for the house work that was needed, so not overly worried about debt level but keen to get rid of it asap.

    I generally make additional weekly payments on top of the monthly DD's. I also move things round to save on interest where I can so my balance reduction will come from a combination of these, living frugally and trying to stop DH from spending.

    I need to pay around £3,500 off a month to meet my target.

    Having a bad month, only managed to pay the minimum payments due to relying on some credit card spending which will be paid off instead.

    So I've paid £171.59 this month.
