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!
