DC's journey to become debt free and saving for wedding
Comments

Well it was payday today so added a few more pounds to the wedding / honeymoon fund. The budget seems tight this month as I am unsure when or what OH is going to get paid. He thinks he is getting paid on the 31 July so I will have to redo the budget then. OH is working the late shift for the rest of this week so I am going to take the opportunity of a quiet house to do some much needed study for my exam in September.Mortgage: £59709.77 (26/08/17) Now £58683.93 MFD Nov 2033Current OP Savings £3952.68.

I'm waiting for payday on thurs but there wont be any extra from me going on the loan lol. Never mind, I'm chipping and that's the main thing.0

but chipping is good i've been chipping away for 2 1/2 years now and i'd say only really been able to start overpaying things since Oct/Nov. and i've almost cleared half my debt (yay i'm still happy over being able to have cleared so much of it, never thought i could)0

Not much has been happening over the last few days. I added a few more pounds to the wedding fund and I hope to add some more when OH gets paid. This monthwe have saved over £500 some of which was used to pay for deposits for the wedding. Next month we hope to save £750. I am also waiting on £30.89 to come from quidco.Mortgage: £59709.77 (26/08/17) Now £58683.93 MFD Nov 2033Current OP Savings £3952.68.

that's some great amounts to be saving each month.0

I see your totals have changed well done. Your honeymoon fund is looking lovely. Don't think I'll get one of those0

We have to save as much as we can when the both of us are working. In 3 months time with OH contract runs out our savings will not be as much.
OH has got two more interviews lined up over the next 2 weeks for permanent work.Mortgage: £59709.77 (26/08/17) Now £58683.93 MFD Nov 2033Current OP Savings £3952.68.

I'll be happy with a family holiday next year and no honeymoon I think to be fair, we'll see if we can afford it, but I wont be budgeting for it in the wedding savings0
