Hi SlowlyFading long time lurker, first time poster, sign me up for full £12k please, i think is a little bit unrealistic however it will give me something to aspire to and something for me to focus on

Hi all
Please can you add me I really something to motivate me since paying off my mortgage (I used to run MFi3) so appreciate to effect of running this.

I'm getting some inheritance through so not sure what things are going to be invested in but if you put me down for £12k to start with I can always change it.

Thanks

Hi all

Please put me down for £6,000. I've never done this before and it will be a stretch but I would like to do this to build a sum to offset against my mortgage.

Does my £100/month saving for holidays count? I'll be spending it in August 2017 though....

Hello! I would like to join in with this challenge. I don't earn enough for me to save £12000 but I should be able to save £6000.

Don't think I qualify under the rules anymore.
Any income I receive now will be from savings already made, growth, interest, or dividends.
Worse; I don't expect my savings to start rising again until 2020 after a few years reduction as I took early retirement.

*sigh.

I'll be back to report £1M in 2026.

I include interest and dividends (only tiny amounts though) in my figures, so I'm sure you could continue if you felt like it ArmyDillo?

In my savings i include net of any interest as well. You could join as well just for general interest to see what post-retirement savings is like with your portfolio and also how reliable any possible savings is. Always happy to know of another case study.
