October payday update!


I saved £1,034 in October, which brings me to £12,616 so far in 2016 (target achieved 2 months early! ) and £107,823 overall.


Wonder if I'll hit £110,000 by the end of the year

I had £69k last July and about £97k now depending on share investments.

November payday update!


I only managed to save £138 this month, due to booking long haul flights for next year


That brings me to £12,754 so far in 2916, and £107,961 overall.

Hi Everyone, new to this thread.
Funny seeing the interest rates way back when this was started, in 2006!
I wonder when/if we'll see those kinds of rates again...

I have $600AUD in savings, which I plan to grow to $15,000 by December 2017.

Update...
Several of my accounts are now generating no interest (Halifax terms and conditions change) or less (123 accounts etc).

In any case, today I'm up to £101.5k! By the end of January that will be down to about £100.5k but I'm glad to be over 6 figures... as long as my shares hold out (1/3 of that is in shares......).

I really need to shuffle things up as there's about £15-20k getting no interest right now..!

Unfortunately my now fiancee has developed incurable cancer. Money will go to a wedding and the house she always wanted. Makes me realise money isn't everything and don't waste the day - use it toward something you want before it's too late.
