3-6 Month Emergency Fund Challenge!!
Comments

Hi DH, I will
I plan on putting some stuff for sale on FB tomorrow.
Also, my payday is 24th of every month. I'll pay myself first.
It's hard, because at the moment I save £1500 a month for the move, stuff I will need for the flat etc. There's money in the nationwide regular saver that I intend not to touch, but I might have to.
So I'll start properly once I moved car finance £1072/£8285 by sept 2018
#188 £1000 EF £8.45/£1000
3-6 months salary £80/£50000 -
No worries Grandad's Offspring .... We all move at our own pace and do what we can afford to do....It sounds like the Move is a big one....and I hope it goes well for you.....I look forward to hearing from you and letting us know how you went on and how you are going on with your Emergency Fund xXx 0

My monthly SO has gone in and topped up my EF to £573.27 :j Notmally the SO would have more than made up for the spend earlier this month, but I'm making reduced payments at the moment as I need to build up my £1k EF for car emergencies. I'll try to add a bit more next month to make up for it

Hello all, could I join please?
I'm new to MSE and so glad I found it. What a wonderful forum! I still have lots of roaming around and learning to do, but I am determined to get a grip on my finances and build myself an emergency pot.
My goal is £6000, which seems like a huge task! At the moment I've got £525 in an ISA and have set up a SO to add £50 a month on payday. I'd like to do more than that, but still have some debt on a 0% credit card I want to get rid of too.
You're all very inspiring! :-)0 -

Helen will add you to the first page and provide you with a number when she pops along.
You are doing really well already and you will have plenty of support and motivation on this thread.
Welcome aboard

Hi!
Sounds like you're doing better Helen which is awesome.
£10 for me this week but I probably won't be back for a few weeks. After 5 months we finally exchanged and complete on the house on Tuesday!
