HI
How do we amend to show our progress on the listing page on currently my number 37 shows 0% - Page 1 were our numbers are allocated?
Trying to get motivated and hope there will not be another lock down - that crippled me financially being self employed my worked stopped immediately and there was no support for me from the govt. because I had a bit of savings. - so no payments here - watching my savings deplete over the last few months was hard enough - and making minimum payments to clear debt was progress and did save my credit rating - but that was not what I had hoped to have cleared debt wise by now.
Trying to calculate how I can still achieve my goal - already starting to sell my little bits around the house to recoup my savings should there be another lockdown - I know keep calm and keep going cause eventually I will hit 0 - and be debt free - I have learned my lesson - never again will I get into debt

January 2020 I had £7600 of debt (all credit cards!)
I battled with this debt for years and it just kept mounting up. Last year I had spent £900 on interest alone... wow that hurt.
I am now debt-free!
Cut up all my cards! Now working on saving for a deposit on a house. Will never use a credit card again.
I wish everyone the best in doing the same. Stopped seeing it as a chore or something really difficult... instead, I just put myself out of the 'need to spend' mindset and needing stuff constantly... placing so much enjoyment and value on things like overpriced coffee... I feel so silly that I was that way for so long. I know that a daily lunch at pret won't feel as good as being debt-free. Lockdown really helped me to evaluate how I live and quit my mindless spending when socialising or out and about.9 -

My current debt is £5576.29/£10,033.44Glad you are back!2 -
