  • Its getting closer, the day after pay day in February so February 27 2018 :beer:
    Aiming to early retire August 31st 2026.
  • Looks like by end of 2022 at the most - then we can start ploughing that money into saving for a deposit.
  • Just used the Snowball calculator and it has told me that April 2020 will be me debt-free date.

    Feels like a long way away, but I am determined!
  • As long as my job doesn't disappear (local council looking at out sourcing all services):eek: then my target date is July 2019.
  • I would really love August this year, but currently my DFD is December 2018. £7100 remaining.

    Current goal: €151,000 deposit Ireland and counting, to buy Spring 2022 we hope!
  • Just read through all the posts can see a few who were optimistic and havent quite made when they thought, many who have exceeded their expectations but some great signatures showing how well everyone has done.

    I was originally Nov 2019 now looking at March 2019 not sure if i can make it to the end of 2018 but this has incentivised me to have a look!
