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
FGMFiT-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 2026.0 -
It's been a few days since I last posted here, but I pulled a rabbit out of the hat for Mrs Bliss last week.
Post no. 1880 in my diary explains it all in case you're not in the know:

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.

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.
