No 112 finally reporting in after a long absence but loads of scrimping away. Pleased to report my total is currently standing at £940. Helped along the way by a £450 tax rebate which went straight into my EF. This month I have reduced my working hours so may not be able to save as much but am determined to save the remaining £60 asap.x:j Debtfree and and staying that way.:j3-6 month emergency fund, No.61 £140.000

So after dipping to £800 I can report that I'm back up to £870. I plan to transfer £100 into my EF when I get paid tomorrow so hopefully not far off hitting the £1,000 target again.0

Haven't been on for a while as had to help deal with funeral and other stuff.
Have decided to reduce my growing number of Bank accounts, so will be closing all the ones I no longer use and transfering funds into my EF.Never Knowingly Understood.

I have £1500 sat in an account earning interest. I actually save up to cover other planned and potential expenses.Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.0

Well, EF is down below £200. 3-6 month fund will be taking a hammering as well due to having the timing belt done on the car as it was due.Never Knowingly Understood.

Gutted! EF now down to 100 pounds due to no wage packet and my banger car breaking down. Roll on new wage end of this month, hoping to put some away fingers crossed ��This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
