Can I join the challenge please?
My target is £6327.90
Every year I try and tackle it but often get myself into further debt or use every penny. I need to clear this so that I can move forward in life. This is only including the credit card and overdraft debt. It is costing me £30 a month in fees at the moment but my credit card will start charging interest in summer. The more i can clear the better before then.Declutter 2020 - 267/2020 :j

Need to get focused in 2020, have done debt free a few years ago but currently have a car loan (or two, one nearly finished) which I want shot of, a credit card with the wood burner install on 0% and another cc with 500 at 0%. Also a couple of small family loans from when we moved house cos our buyers dropped the price at the 12th hr and we had to plug the gap. Will work out total tomorrow but aiming to clear the lot in 2020 so can hit mortgage for the rest of the decade... Would also like to be a size 8 and find an extra 6 hours per day. For now we will start with debt free.. 😜🎉 Back on track here we come and taking dh, dd & ds along for the ride! 🤣
Arghhhh and much sadness - just done figures and total is a whopping £12,943.39 :wall: however have paid off £687.29 today so going down which is progress :jDebt free on the 28/05/130 -

I would like to pay off £10,000 or 28% of my debt and not use my CC to pay for anything in 2020. I am sick of paying some off and then adding to it and my debt has gone up significantly this year.
I also have £3720 to pay for 2 family holidays in 2020, both on instalments, with 2 payments left on 1 and 10 payments on the other.Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%
Pay off £7000 - £1743 - 19.4%
Make £2021 extra income - £99.750
