My % to date and Upd? columns don't look right, I didn't give an update this time, also my % has dropped from 58.31% in ch6 to 11.98% in ch7.financialbliss wrote: »Here's a quick collection of figures for chart 07.

I know the colours are incorrect, and I need to check the totals too, but I'm calling it an evening as I've been up since 0530 this morning. Best I can do in the time I've had this evening. I'll address any chart sum / figure shortfalls tomorrow - honest this time.

Wow BT that's superb :j. You would never have believed you'd do it in 3 years, let alone 2 :beer:.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

used emergency fund to bring balance down to £1000
set up monthly investment/saving accounts to start jan 2015
so swapping mortgage payments for investment/saving after MF
ive never saved/invested in my life,always took out 1k/3k bank loans
when I was 47, 5 years ago,deciding to be MF,best financial decision I ever made.
now I have a chance to build a nest egg,wont be rich,but comfortable.
also with spare disposable income now,i can spend without taking on any debt.cafe,restaurants,short city breaks/holiday

BT: Well done!
But why is the clearance figure so different from the £1000 in your previous. If it is an administrative payment then it sounds too large to be legal.MFiT-T3 #149: {Q4/14} (£46,447)-->(£0) ~ +£46,447=100%
