Weekly update
Had some interest added on one of my online savings accounts. Only £10.25 but it all helps. Don't know if I can keep at this pace all year, but I'm going to give it a good shot.0 -
More haste less speed. If I don't update my total savings it will look as though I'm not getting anywhere!!!0

£833.33 a month for 10 years? Not including interest....lets do it
I would say start December this year.....upto you, your idea. I am well and truely in though. In 10 years i will be 30-31 and this could serve me as emergancy savings right through my career after that. I would hope to manage it in 8 years though. Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.

Transferred another £100 to my ISA as my funds are looking pretty healthy, so that's £500 so far this month, which is my monthly target :T
ISA has 3700 in it now, quite a fair chunk to add before April!
Everybody is doing so well!
Trix 6k in 2012: £4200.00/£6000.00
6k in 2013: £8209.62/£6000.00

Ew how exciting. I love how one idea leads to another and another Whatever would I use £100k for?! Well, our mortgage has about £74k left so we could pay that off for a start.. Let me think, I'm nearly 27 now.. so I would be mortgage free by the time I'm 37... :eek: How exciting

It is amazing to think about it...but if you saved it along side your mortgage, your mortgage would be much less than £74k.
At the rate of this challenge its £120,000 not £100k.
£120,000 just looks so much better Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.
