    Unfortunately a bit too much of a smidgeon to find right now.... but when my barclaycard payment mid month gets credited, I'll tip the 50%! WooooooHooooooo

    I'm all done, cleared the last hurdle this month. Woohoo:T

    Would you all budge up on that winners rostrum and make room for one more; I'm hearing the start of the national anthem of New Zealand and all I have to do now is shower you all in this magnum of Champagne. :rotfl:

    Thanks to you all for spurring me on and especially to the Dragon for keeping us all in line, I wouldn't have done it without this forum and all the support and money saving tips and ideas.

    Now I'll have to find a savings challenge, so I can keep motivated to continue the good work and save some money for a new car and perhaps a holiday, before we start to tackle the mortgage.

    Start January 2017: $268,012

    Well done Kiwisaver. You must feel so happy. I can't wait for this moment.
