#24 - £711.74/£7113.80 realised today I've paid off 10% of my debt so far. I've paid off my Very account now so only 5 more debts to go. I've also got a couple of minimum payments to come out later this month. I took some time to sense check my budget each month and I should be able to pay off everything by December if all goes to plan.

I’ve now paid a total of £2631 of my debt of £7881.
This is 33.38% paid.I got the total and percentage paid wrong in my last post so that’s just a symptom of how wrong I can be with money 🤦🏻♀️4 -
To get a 'percentage paid', divide the total you've paid by the total outstanding then multiply by 100. In my case (£2,144.15 ÷ £12,934.78) x 100 = 16.57. So I've paid 16.57% of my total outstanding.
It's actually more tricky than that, when you consider overpayments reduce the total interest paid so the reduce total outstanding. How do you work that out each time 👀Debt @ LBM 01/11/24 - £14,161.59Debt current - £10,845.80
