    Got a few things on and to buy this month, so saving any sort of decent amount will be tough, but I'm hopeful of at least being able to chuck a little bit into my savings pot, however small that amount may be. :)

    Also, sorry to hear about the job lalman, hopefully something comes along soon.

    And well done to all on their savings, making me very jealous with the numbers being posted, motivates me to try and save as much as I can when I see some of the progress you're all making!

    Hey Lalman, sorry to hear about the job. I wish you all the best with finding something new and awesome soon.

    And much, much kudos to you for having been sensible with your money so that you have that financial cushion, and being pretty positive about your situation.

    Thank you guys! - I can't tell you how much I appreciate the kind words!

    I am a chartered accountant... No major holes either bogle lol but I'm v commercial focused and my technical skills have room for improvement so might just take time to find the right role...

    I think your right for paying off your loan- I would hav done the same :-)
    My Goal: From 1st of Jan 2015 to 31st of December 2015 is to save 30000.

    48.78% towards 2015 target.

    105.3% towards 2014 target. :j
