I don't comment but I do follow along!
You've done amazing this year!1 -
So 12 months in, things are looking much better and back in control of my finances.
End of Dec-24 Update:
Credit Cards and Overdraft: £34,123
Loans: £0
Total Debt: £34,123
Emergency Fund: £300
Started Journey Jan-24:
Reduction in debt from previous month: £2,651
Total Reduction in Debt: £22,506
Notes:- Some great totals over the past 12 months.
- Delighted to have cleared all loans in the 12 months so they will incur no more interest
- Got balance transfer offers from two current card providers so it adds confidence I'll be able to move some of my current 0% balances when the promo periods end later this year.
