  • Hi all. New Here. Like the sound of this so I'd like to join in on all the fun.

    1 question. Probably being a noob. Lol So I've a debt that I want to get rid of currently sitting at £6130. It's all 0% at the moment but really want rid of it. So my 1% is about £62. My minimum payments I pay off is £145 so do I count that as 2% every month before I pay anything extra off? Or is it the extra on top of the miminum payments I'm counting?

    TIA

    Can I please join the 1% challenge. I am joining because I have set myself the goal of getting a housing deposit together for summer 2021 so I have the choice to move if I need to. And I just realised I have saved £25 and that is the first 1%. SO I am now looking for the next % in the next few month. 
    oops the link to the 2020 thread didn't work. I'll try to find it later.

    Can I ask how you all know what extra you have to put towards your debts from any disposable income?  I have four different incomes that come in at different times of the month. Unfortunately my laptop is broken otherwise I would put everything on an excel spreadsheet so was wondering if there are any apps or other methods you use that I might find useful.  Thank you.
