I'll put you down as having achieved your target, let me know if there is an actual total you want me to put down."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
After a quick calculation, can you please modify my target? I still need to pay off £7532.70 to be debt free so that's added to my current balance:
