I've just submitted my update early too, £250 for April (which I think brings me beyond my half way point thanks to my bumper month last month). Not bad seeing as I had an expensive month after having to buy a new smartphone, because my old one packed up a week or so ago!£12k in 2019 #084 £3000/£3000

No 24 reporting..not a bad April...£1254.22... I have updated sheet!
Good luck all.0 -
boglehead robbed a bank this month? :eek: Some of the figures seem quite random e.g. £15k target, £11k declared in Feb xD odds of meeting the target just shortened to 1/200
My bonus got paid this month, hence the big bump. I am back on track for the year.
My earnings are not always linear, hence the random nature of my savings figure.Total Debt
12/2012 - £893k (mortgage and toys loans)
11/2019 - £556k (mortgage only)0 -
Just updated with my April figure - £600, not a bad month!0

Well, end of April is nearing. No more payments from me as hefty CC to pay for in beginning of May. Total April savings are = £4370. Onwards and upwards!

Thanks SF

£780 for me this month SF. Had to pay the deposit on the new boiler, but should be able to make a good savings payment next month, I become a pensioner and receive a small lump sum and small monthly payment for the five years I worked at the Uni. It's the big 6-0 next month!“And all shall be well. And all shall be well. And all manner of things shall be exceeding well.”

I'm still here guys,
Have been doing pretty bad this year and I must try harder, it's been spend spend spend and it needs to be save save save!
It's not just been on unnecessary things like a new car *ahem*
But medical stuff too so it's been a balance.
Anyway I need to reset the credit card etc which I do pay off in full every month and once that's done I'll be right back with you trying to play catch up.
I've missed it here! Well done everyone who's been on it :T
I've also just realised my sig needs updating to the current year, I've really been off the wagon.MFW 2018/19 #55 target: £6,847.26/ £500 paid0
