Hey,
So not sure I'll be able to join in but I want to count my LISA as a debt and plan to add £4,000 a year to it, can I join in?
Thanks

Yippy, last year I had only just started and the figures felt too big to join. £8975 left to go, whoop whoop. Want the lot gone by Sept 26, I am probably being too industrious but would feel great to go from 32000 in Sept 24 to 0 in Sept 26
. Reality is December 2026.

I might be getting a lump sum soon but I don’t know whether to pay my interest card off at £4000 29% interest or pay my loan off at 12000 at 7.2% with £500 payment a month? What’s best?Debts off by Xmas 2026 0/4000
