    Well worth a read if you don't mind swearing.

    is he on here?
  • hmm, that MMM site is going to waste hours of my life.

    So far it looks like an interesting concept but the suggested returns just don't exist in this country currently.
    Sep 2010: £96,685, Savings: £0
    Sep 2013: £75,000, Savings: £8,000
    Now: £67,897, Savings: £13,000
    Daily Interest: £3.89
  • Yes, I have read all the posts from the beginning of time too. A real time Hoover! I like his ideas but with our pathetic returns as present it isn't a real prospect at present. Although with our mad economy you never know what will happen to rates once they start to go up.

    It is all about being brave and not caring what everybody else thinks. Very inspirational even if I have left it too late to do the whole MMM thing.

    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Brodiebobs it is mrmoneymustache.com.

    Hello philhbug. *waves*

    I left it too late also but I still plan to shamelessly steal a lot of it. I think his latest post is the best.

    Two hours to get home. A road closing accident, God bless and keep them.

    Me too.

    I have really enjoyed reading some of the journals. They have a much bigger range of salaries it seems.
  • I have taken on the cycling and walking, but can't get into the not going out idea. I love having friends round but like going to stately homes and having cream teas too... Mr MMM maybe doesn't have that sort of thing available in Boulder?
