st182 said:Well folks, that's me done. I cleared it last week but wanted to get a clearer picture of finances closer to pay day before sharing.
#175 = £7800 / £7800
It feels good- a little disappointed with my recent stumble which WAS easily avoided, but being held accountable here helped me jump back on the wagon and clear it as a matter of priority!
I would like to thank everyone on this thread- seeing how everybody is getting on with their own situations certainly egged me on, and I can safely say i would be nowhere near paid off by now if i was left to my own devices, so thank you.
I am off to the £1000 emergency fund thread next- however, I am helping my other half with her finances too. She has a plan, and is chipping away, and to help her capacity / interest rate wise I've took a chunk of it on myself- so I'll more than likely be back next year with a new target to clear a chunk off that, if that is allowed
Congratulations on reaching your debt freedom goal! Whoop Whoop!

Afternoon Everyone #030 in the house!
So, I have decided to use our small savings pot to get rid of a bit more of our credit card debt.
The saving pot is making no interest, so I'm using it, instead of waiting till December.

I've fell off the wagon ever so slightly this month. The new Xbox Series X is released next month and with the COVID situation and the time of year, I am playing more and more on my current Xbox so I slipped and purchased one. I've added £500 to my total. I'll hopefully be able to offset it a little by selling my current Xbox for £100-150.
I've also made a payment of £157.54
