Debt-free goal

WITH all the protests against the cuts the government is making, we keep losing sight of why they have to make them. It’s to reduce our diabolical debts.

So why can’t we watch our progress on paying off this debt week by week, just as any family would, to motivate us and give a clear reason to tighten our belts?

Maybe with a sort of thermometer, showing the drop (hopefully!) each week. That would give us a visual goal to aim at, and take some of the pain out of the sacrifices we must make.
