    Well, I've only gone & done it! Debt-free for the first time this century :-)

    Having the money to pay what I owed gave me the confidence to negotiate with some of the lenders, so I managed to reduce the amount owed from around £12,900 down to £8,055.76

    And I've paid it all off!

    I failed miserably in the 2018 challenge. Can I join this years one? Starting to make progress this year.


    Started the year with £12,446

    Currently at £10,306

    Can't see how I can get rid of it. But a £6k target is achievable.
