    Morning. Another month, another update on the figures.

    Previous balance: £37,705.51
    Payment: £400
    Interest: £35.22
    New Balance: £37,340.73

    Interest slightly higher this month, I assume it’s got to do with July being longer than June. Looking forward to being out of the 37’s next month
    Starting Total in September 2019 = £38287.77
    Current Total = £25534.10
    33% of debt paid off so far

    Debt Free by Christmas September August July June 2023!
  • First day of the month and an update on the figures. I am pleased to report that we are out of the 37’s 

    Previous balance: £37,340.73
    Payment: £400
    Interest: £34.91
    New Balance: £36,975.64

    It’s slow progress but I don’t have any spare to throw at it right now. Still another 8 years or so to go. My debt free date is Feb 2024, my hope is once I have paid off the debt, I will be able to redirect the money to the mortgage. With the level I am paying for debt now, I would be able to clear the mortgage fast, potentially within a year or so by the time I am debt free

    Hello! So it has been an age since I last posted but payments have been ticking along. I have been focusing on debt payments so regrettably cannot pay more than I am already paying for the mortgage. I really hope interest rates don’t rise for a while...

    Last balance noted in November 2020: £36, 243.27
    New balance : £34,036.01
    Interest last month was £31.10

    So making good progress. If my DFD holds and I finish in 2 years, I will be able to shift my focus to the mortgage and probably be MF 2 years after that!
