2019 1% challenge

AdventureWanted

Hi all,
I've updated the front sheet and added all newbies.

Money has been tight the last few months, but I've managed to get to 19% paid. Not as far forward as I would have liked, but is definitely progress.

Wow, this is going faster than I thought it would. The act of just sitting with my budget at the start of every month and moving what I haven't spent to my savings is really making a big difference. I have also done some extra work which helps a lot as well. Actually just having the savings accounts and putting the money in that makes it much clearer that that is not to be touched.

Hi, can I join? I need to clear down £1410, so 1% is £14.10

No 41 Northern Peach. Checking in for the first time with 2% paid to my debt. Planning to make a good dent in my %'s next month

#25 could I change my target please? Job change means I need to be more realistic. I’ve set myself 16,000 total instead. Making 1% 160 pounds, I’m at 6% and it’s much more motivating.

Danthewelder

Paid off 3.2%, or 518.15 in April, leaving 15,088.45

Total % is now 8.5% #42 danthewelder.

Very glad I started this challenge. I've been helping the wife pay hers off too and we're almost finished with hers, she'd already made better progress than I had realised which was a bonus, so I should be able to kick into gear over the next few months.

I've started a switch to NatWest, so that £175 will go straight towards.

My minimum payments are around 1.6% so my current aim is to at least double that each month.
