Welcome aboard @DebtBustingButterfly, well done for PADding already and definitely keep us updated with your progress so that we can cheer you along.
It's hard sometimes being consistent when you don't have a challenge or laser focus isn't it @Makingabobor2. I think the savings for full and final settlements would definitely be good for your goals, and PAD as often as you like so that we can celebrate with you as you work on your goals.
Welcome back @rsdiscos, PADding really does help doesn't it, and it can get so addictive (in a good way). Are you able to be counter upper for February 2026? Or you can pick another month that suits you, and thank you for volunteering.
Wishing you all the success for 2026 and beyond for your goals @Bounty123, and welcome aboard.
So glad that you registered to join us @bettyboo65, this is such an inspiring and supportive thread. So I'm sure you'll make good progress with your goals. As will you @Christa27, and once you know your total starting amount, you might want to have an overall amount you'd want to reduce it to by this time next year, so that you can pace yourself. PADding can make all the difference, especially if we have a goal in mind (well that's what helped me anyways).
I'll do the final check-in on the 2025 thread tomorrow, and then post the yearly total here.
Best of luck for your 2026 PADding and goals everyone 🤗.Debt Free Diary:- The Mental Debt Struggle

PADing sounds great. I'm in!

I have a fixed target on "pay off all your debt 2026" for 0% balances which expire in 2026, so I'll use this to nip away at some of my longer term higher balances so there is less for 2027's. Nice one
