  • This seems like a great idea! Only seeing it now as the weekly email mentioned it.
    I will calculate my debt and give you a figure
    MBNA (Was £2000), Now £2, 900 (Expected date Dec/2020)
    CAR (Was £300) Now
    £2, 000 (Interest free loan from family member)



    **Want to be on my way to being debt free for 42**

    I honestly find the % motivating. I'll be out and thinking of buying a coffee and cake and realise that it is £4 and that as £40 is 1% of the debt if I don't buy it I'm 10% closer to paying 1% off. It all sounds trivial and small moneywise, but the % add up. If you look through my posts I've paid £1 here and there through cashback, resisting spending, interest on my bank account etc and it really does add up.

    I think at the end I will tot up how many % were savings / money made :)
