    Excellent news on the debt reductions.

    Paying off some of the smaller balances we found was an excellent moral boost and gave us the momentum to attack some of the larger debts.
  • I've hit my targets for this year. I wanted to pay off a minimum of 12%, only 1% per month. And be below £30k owed by the end of 2022.

    I'm currently at £29876.97, I've reduced my debt by 12.98% in 2022. I've still got December's payments to go.

    It's so motivating to see the total amount owed reduce even over time. Every penny paid off is worthwhile. And even small amounts add up and will get us there in the end!
