    Hi @shell16, I’d like to pay off the full balance of £4786 in as short a time as possible. I’ve been reading Dave Ramsay bits and pieces and have done step 1, now about to start step 2.
    Thank you (#54)

    Thanks I have added a target of £4768 as requested but note on your signature this states £4787?
