As the CC was on a 0% I felt that I could start my savings journey until the term ends on the 0%

Declaring my savings figures for March £1725.94 making a total to date of £5154.40

I am starting a diary on the DFW as of tomorrow to track my journey to total financial independence which I am aiming to achieve before I am 50 (2022).

Whoop, well done to you!!! :beer:

Thank you I wonder if I can get to the magic £100k in the next two months!

Hi everyone, March has been a pretty good month for us savings-wise, and only a couple of very small unexpected expenses to deal with. One being car parking costs at the local hospital as OH had to have a series of tests done (all clear thankfully!) ... but why is hospital parking so expensive??

Anyway, declaring £2666.59 for the month. Happy saving everyone.

What will be will be, no matter how long, making a whisper off a £100,000 hit is amazing!

Your pride must be so much more inflated than your savings accounts

Hi everyone, posting a total of £1167.56 this month, got an amazing trip booked in April so numbers could be a little low next month but I promise to try my best!

Thank you everyone as usual for motivating me and thank thank you to SF for all your continued hard work (and amazing blog!)

Oh, also a small goal for me achieved, broke the £70k savings ceiling! Not as impressive as Tara's 100k but I would never have dreamed 3 years ago how much I would have stashed away

Well Done! And good luck in your journey to FI.

I promise myself I will never get into debt. Don't ever want to ever start on the back foot on the FI journey.
