Re: 2020: The Official YNAB Savings Challenge
I've claimed line 14. Last year I was in the Debt Smackdown Challenge and I am also this year. I'm finding this challenge a bit harder to define goals.…

Re: The Official 2020 Debt Smackdown
Claimed Line 24. I'm back again for the Challenge. It was very motivational for me in 2019. I got to 100% of my goal, which was CCs and a car loan - all gone! I've been off the CC float for a while,…

Re: The Official 2019 Debt Smackdown
I made it to 100% of 2019 goal! I was scheduled to make the final cc payment in December, but decided to do a little WAMing just to have it done. I'll be back in 2020 to tackle the HELOC.…

Re: The Official 2019 Debt Smackdown
Car loan - gone! It was at 0%, so I've never been in a big hurry to pay it off, but wow it feels good. I'm at 93% of my goal for the year. Two more payments on a 0% credit card and that will be done,…

Re: The Official 2019 Debt Smackdown
@Gold Song @Gold Song That's great! I really get the "can't wait" part. My last car payment comes out of the bank on auto payment on Monday and I can hardly wait for that.

Re: The Official 2019 Debt Smackdown
October check-in: I'm right on track to make my goal - one more car payment in Nov. and two payments on the last cc. Both of those are at 0% interest. I'm so tempted to just pay them both now…

Re: The Official 2019 Debt Smackdown
@Bearours I started a sinking fund last January and put a small amount in each month. I haven't started my shopping yet, but between the sinking fund and five paychecks this month (we get paid…

Re: The Official 2019 Debt Smackdown
@just_zoshin @just_zoshin Way to go! You've got a plan and that's important. I'm in the same place. I'd like it all to be gone, but it's going to take a little more time.…

Re: The Official 2019 Debt Smackdown
August check-in. Made payments to the two loans I'm tracking, so now I'm at 78.24% of my goal for 2019. I'm so tempted to pay more to get to get to $0.00 and 100%.…

Re: The Official 2019 Debt Smackdown
Just updated my pay downs for July. I'm at 72.03% of my goal and right on track to meet my yearly goal by the end of 2019. I'm geeked!

Re: The Official 2019 Debt Smackdown
June check-in: I'm now at 67% of my goal for the year. The rest of the debt I listed as a goal is at 0% interest, so the plan is to get that to 0% by the end of December.…

Re: The Official 2019 Debt Smackdown
I bit the bullet and took some money from savings to pay off my cards that carried an interest rate. Now I have two debts - one card and a car payment - at 0%.…

Re: The Official 2019 Debt Smackdown
@Angel's Mom I agree with @Technicolor Cheetah . I've come to think of my first budget as a "draft" or learning budget. After about 5 weeks, I started a new one learning from the mistakes I'd made…

Re: The Official 2019 Debt Smackdown

Re: The Official 2019 Debt Smackdown
February check-in. Paid down $1338.00 in CC and auto debt. That's not quite as good as last month, but I'm taking a short vacation in March and don't want to add to CC debt. Still, I'm at 33.…
