6 years of debt busting...

I've not been an active user on the forum for quite some time, but I still pop in from time to time. I was proud and appalled in equal measure when I received my 6 year anniversary badge! I am appalled I'm still trying to pay off a whack of debt, but proud of how far that I've come and what I've learned and the new habits I've formed. I'm going to be around a bit more on the forum so hi to all old friends and new. I'm hoping to shift £15, 000 of debt this year.

    That's a fair old target! Good luck. I suggest that you start a diary to map your progress
    No.79 save £12k in 2020. Total end May £11610
    Annual target £24000

    Good luck! It can be done. Check out the debt free screams on the dave Ramsey show. It's on youtube. People in there pay off crazy amounts.

    Well done on starting your own diary, I'm a great believer regularly posting works. We've got £15800 worth of debt and hoping to shift 7.5k this year.

    Looking forward to following your journey x
