Pay ALL Your Debt Off By Xmas 2026!

BlueJ94

Welcome to Pay ALL Your Debt Off By Xmas 2026

Firstly I would like to welcome all new and existing members from last years thread (New numbers will be allocated for 2026). Thank you for last year! 

Anyone is welcome to join this challenge and it is NEVER too late. There is also no amount of money too small or too large that will stop you from joining this challenge. We have several members who will be on their debt journey for several years to come, but they are part of this thread to pay off a fixed amount of their debt as the support on here is fantastic! 

So, if you think you can pay off all your debts by the end of the year or have a goal to pay off a certain amount then please join in! You do not need to pay off that target, but having a target to aim for is a good thing! Whatever you manage to pay is a plus!

This challenge runs until 25th December 2026 - PLEASE DECLARE YOUR FINAL TOTALS BY THIS DATE

To help me run this thread easily, could you please all post your challenge number - Payments/Targets for example

#6 - £1000/£5000 

Posting any other way may result in your amounts not being updated or updated incorrectly. 

I will aim to update at least weekly. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
