The Alternative Millionaire

gothrockchic1

Hi everyone!

2015 has started off really well. OH won a weekend in Paris at his work. They have a daily raffle over the festive period and he won the main prize :j. That's our holiday sorted, we need to find out when we can take it, whether it includes spending money etc. So we're going to Paris baby! :rotfl:

I am trying today (and failing) to list books on Amazon trade in. Grrr some ISBN numbers don't match......The extra Amazon vouchers will come in handy as I need to restore my old laptop, in replacing the battery and charger. I was hoping on doing that for free! It means I can sell it on, that's another taking up space.

I made the mistake of going into town today, I had to fight the urge to spend, there's so many things that I want. I just got the basics I needed today, I go back to work tomorrow. At least I won't be spending!

Hi everyone, well my Mentor has given me a lot of food for thought and it looks like I have a lot of work to do. I am relishing the challenge :j

I have also been offered a second Mentorship from someone who is quite high up as well. I may not be allowed two mind you

Good Morning all

The credit cards have been paid off and I have £80 left in my current account to last me 18 days.

This is quite an improvement on last January I remember having £30 left. It's good to see progress month on month.

I transfered money into my new savings account earning me 4.8% :j from my ISA. I am tempted to transfer more but I will make a decision.

I now also have two mentors :rotfl:both know about each other and are both happy to mentor me in HR. I meet up with them both next week.

It's easy to think about the short-term gains of taking money out of ISAs and putting them into these high interest current accounts. But don't forget that you are building up a large tax-free sum for the future which will always be tax-free. In addition, don't forget compound interest

Congrats on coming so far

Hi all.

Just a quick update as it's so late. I have started on the boxes in the spare bedroom. One box down 15 more to go :eek:. I'll be starting on the clothes next.

I am meeting with my first mentor tomorrow, nervous and excited.

Hope it goes well for you :T.
