Hi @Jrcoal5. You are doing so well and personally I would increase my target now, rather than reset to a new target as you can see exactly what you have paid towards debt throughout the year, but its really your choice.

Happy Bank Holiday!!! Just thought I would post an update for the month of April. I cant quite believe how well you are doing and some have paid off their debt already! There is fantastic progress overall so everyone should be super proud. I have updated page 1 of this thread and we are now £102,479.78 paid off since the beginning of the year!
Well done!
