Number 35 checking in again...now at 9%
This thread/challenge has been a complete marvel, so thank you Adventure Wanted for maintaining it. Colouring off a little square each time I pay off a % has been a great motivator and is forcing me to keep tabs on my debt which I just ignored for several years. I can't believe I've paid off 9% in just 2 months, and I'm hoping to be at 10%+ by the end of the month!Debts: CC1: [STRIKE]£1675.83[/STRIKE] £2269.40 CC2: [STRIKE]£3209.11[/STRIKE] £707.56 CC3:[STRIKE]£704.04[/STRIKE] £235.69 OWE PARTNER: £0

#25. Checking in another 1% this past week from overtime, studies, switching. Used this 1% to pay straight off to credit cards however (was becoming itchy to pay something off a little bit, to keep the motivation) Does it still count as now at 4%? 880/220000

Whoop whoop! At 30%!!
7 days until payday and my bills have all gone out. I can see I have some spare money left, so I paid £200 off the debt. I have £26 to put petrol in the car, but and plan is to try not spend more then that if I can help it... that would leave me a £1000 emergency fund. I can then use the next few months salary purely for debt not saving.
