It's great that you had some emergency funds to use for the debts.
We'll look forward to you rejoining by/before June with a shiny new number.
All the best with debt-busting Mooloo - you can do this
Savings, pension fund that was cashed in, isa and everything I had was thrown at the debts.
Debt was £13,040.72
Debt today 3,827.17
One more savings pot left to transfer out £2265.72
Leaving me £1,561.45 debt.
I am hoping that I will pay it by end June. So I will get back to savings, etc all over again.
The debts were not really mine, but my children needed help and I bailed them out. But they are unable to pay me back so I decided that the interest was stopped faster.
Scary but I hope that I will get there.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
Happy to be shuffled. Have used up all my EF. My target is £3000.#7... 3 - 6 month Emergency Fund Challenge (part 2)

I've been looking for a thread on this subject, I'm now in a place to start saving six months salary into the emergency fund. I would love to join.
I'm currently on a no spend quarter, so hope to have quite a bit stashed away in the first three months.
I've got £350 saved so far.

Welcome to the challenge MummyRivett. :hello:
As this thread was started 3 yrs ago, we are having a shuffle of the numbers at the end of the month to give everyone chance to retain their original (part1) number if they want to.
Take #52 and if you are happy to, I will see about shuffling down to a lower number in a few weeks if any become available.
Well done on getting £350 already, you are definitely off to a great start.
ETA - Let me know if you have a goal in mind, we can update that too.
