If you're keeping your number from 2017 you should be on the spreadsheet, I didn't want to spam the thread with replies to everyone.

5-figures will be a nice milestone for you in 2018 though.
Hehe I feel the same thou the mortgage is up for renewal in April and I plan to get that down to 99K. Really looking forward to dropping to five figures

Hello HiddenShadow,

Thanks hiddenshadow. If there's a free smaller number is it possible to shift from 84? My browser crashes when I scroll that far down on the spreadsheet.0 -

I'd like to give people until early January to claim their numbers from 2017, so won't know yet.
If it helps, I'm happy to swap, not sure if 56 is any better for you than 84?0 -
