1% challenge 2019

pavlovs_dog

we've completed our first 1% challenge of 2019 :j came on to report that I had OP'd £60 made from selling old tat on ebay and realised that we would have just £8.64 left to finish the challenge, so I have tilly tidied it.

1% for us is now £692. Here's to round 2 :beer:

Hi All,

I wasn't able to make up the extra £150 as hoped last month but I have this month. So another £290 overpayment this month. I'm finding these posts really useful to keep track of how much we are overpaying every month.

£578 is 1% for me.
Yes that looks doable for me.
August looks like the month I can make a decent payment!

Almost at my 1% mark.

So since hitting my 1% target I have overpaid another £368.43 in June, and July, helped greatly by the fact it was bonus month.

My payment to get me to my original 1% actually took me over the 1%, so I've actually overpaid £403.44 of my next 1% :rotfl:.,
I have calculated this to be £1488.01

£1084.57 to go to hit this target

Not quite the payment I was looking for but better than nothing. I could have paid off a much much larger chunk this month but I am sticking to my principals of rounding it down to the next 100.

This means September will definitely drop me into the 39k range. Reckon I am on track to achieve 1.5% before the end of the year.

£20.19 OP'd (survey money and a Tilly tidy). £632.21 remaining.

Onwards and downwards!

Things are still up in the air with us setting up a regular overpayment while we finish our house refurbishments but I'm itching to get going with my mortgage so when I came across this I thought it was a great idea.

1% of our mortgage was £1750 when it started last October so I'm going to do with that as a target to work to. Going to see what I can build up and then do an overpayment.

Starting small with £18.57 cashed out of Qu!dco.

Thanks for the idea.
