  • Evening, £5.07 today

    Hope you don't mind me jumping on board. I start a new ft job next Monday, more hours and slightly more money, and I have plans to use some of the extra income to
    1 - clear off my £900 debt
    2 - save towards holidays (we have a slight cruise addiction 😂)
    Hoping this thread will help me stay on track.

    Hello @SillySpender
    You are more than welcome to join us. PAD as much or as little as you want. I have found it helps MASSIVELY and is a great habit to get into. Others on this challenge will say the same. Hopefully you get the bug and it helps you chip away at your debt
