£617.38 for me this month.

A bit disappointing, since this was the month of backpaid salary increase from May and June, BUT I've actually been sensible for once - getting my YNAB all back into the green, and setting aside quite a lot into my annual expenses fund to help to avoid all those nasty oranges and reds! I've also allocated a BUDGET rather than a TARGET for each category... Means saving less but the whole budgeting philosophy easier to achieve in practice I hope.

I actually messed up one of my regular savers so I've really saved £667.38 this month but I think my submission gets me back square on the spreadsheet.

Ah well, next month...

£400 for #89 in July.

A bit less than I wanted but with a new house the costs just keep coming!

July update!


It was an expensive month including the aforementioned expensive holiday booking :rotfl: But that's my reward for reaching my £100k target, it'll be worth every penny and I'm really looking forward to it.


So I'm declaring a negative figure of -£377 for July, £5,959 so far in 2016 and £101,166 in total.


Back on it next month!

EH?? How much :eek:? That takes some dedication having that level of savings and not spending it!!

My total savings is not far below the £100k mark, but I find as the sum goes up, my urge to spend goes down.

Hi all, reporting a slightly disappointing £609.20. I wondered for a second why it wasn't any higher - then after remembering buying a load of clothes and booking a holiday I was more accepting!

EDIT: missed out £200 from my calculations! So I'm only £177 down this month :rotfl: I'll amend my figures.


New July update:
