Had a great weekend selling and also got gifted some money from my Dad for helping him out. Now at 4%, can’t wait to make the overpayment once the monies clear in the account. Breaking the amount down really helps.1 -
Hi All,
#18 checking in with 28%.
I might have more to add later in the month as payday has changed now. My original aim was 25% this year. Now I’m aiming for 30%, but wondering if I should aim for 33%!https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6086606/debt-free-by-23/p1
