  • Hi guys,

    Well, that's it. Thanks FB for my number 68 :)

    Now "all" I have to do is to work out the value of my pensions in addition to my existing savings and I can start to track what my goal will be revised to be at at the start of MFiT-T3

    It's currently £0 to £99,999

    I have more than £0 but don't know quite how much more :)

    FG
    MFiT-T4 Number 68
    MFiT 4 Goal - Build up savings (SIPP, ISA etc.) to £250k . Current balance £174748 (1/8/16).
    Crazy goal - £500k by Jan 2026.

    Would like to join - thought I had done the form, but think I gave the wrong user name. If you see one going from £180k to £60k please assign it to Taranaman and not Tredaran. Let me know if you need me to do it again!

    Evening. Well I've taken my eye off the ball a bit here. Not the way I intend to run the challenge. Got lots going on just now. Apologies. Things will improve. Honest :o

    Now on to recent registrations. Are as follows:

    66. canne. Completely clear my $52,000 mortgage.
    67. PetitePeche. Reduce my mortgage from £151,097 to £110,000.
    68. FreedomGirl. Build up my savings from £0 to £99,999.
    69. Welshlassie. Reduce my mortgage from £177,500 to £165,000.
    70. ajmoney. Reduce my mortgage from £135,932 to £100,000.

    Canne - I know you asked for 52, but that went a little while back. Happy with 66 instead?

    If not, PM or post here and I'll see what I can do. I'll just PM you all so you're aware you have a number now and you're officially "in".

    As ever, any mistakes, feel free to point out my stupidity...

    FB.


    Hi FB - I've just seen this post - I have no. 52 but I'm happy to swop if there is any chance of no. 89.

    PS - Congratulations on your recent news. :T Have you come down to earth yet?

    OK. Took a little longer this evening - done some shuffling on the strength of the above. Looks as follows just now:

    52. canne. Completely clear my $52,000 mortgage.
    ...
    66. littlefred169. *** Objective to be set ***
    ...
    79. slowlyfading. Reduce my mortgage from £123,000 to £99,999.
    80. Taranaman. Reduce my mortgage from £180,000 to £60,000.
    81. slarlet10. Completely clear my £54,472 mortgage.
    82. newgirly. Reduce my mortgage from £145,185 to £100,000.
    83. marinia75. Reduce my mortgage from £238,525 to £200,000.
    ...
    89. the end of the rainbow. Build up my savings from £0 to £40,000.

    Canne gets her number 52. littlefred169 slots into number 66 that Canne leaves. the end of the rainbow gets 89 as requested as part of the swap and everyone else gets their number allocated in sequence on a first come first served basis.

    As per usual, I'll attempt to PM everyone concerned.
