    Count me in please!

    Currently no proper debt (one CC for £2800 however have savings to match that once intr free period...'stoozing' as they say!)

    Earn very well, but sick of wasting it on pointless cr*p! Self employed, £10,000 sat in business account (but tax bill of around £4000 due soon... :eek:).
    Aim is to have Buy to Let by end of year that more than pays for itself so need around a further £15000. Rough calculations say i should be saving around £2000 a month so these figures should be possible!!! Help me stay motivated please! :D

    Welcome one and all! Not long before the starter's pistol sounds and off we go!

    Thank you shyspender for offering to do June.

    Calling - you are never 'just making up the numbers'! Your motivating factor is certainly a clear cut one. Good luck!
