£926.83 saved in March.

I took out a credit card with a promotional 30 month 0% interest in January, and I've been thinking of how to include this within my overall savings. I have decided to have a new column for the credit card and update a negative value each month. For January and February's figures were a bit inflated as I had not been factoring in this 'free' money I was borrowing. Would be interested to hear if/how anyone else factors in debts such as this into the savings spreadsheet?

This month is also going to be overstated (and look like it doesnt all add-up), whereas next month will be back to normal!

TSB RS - £250
HTB ISA - £200
P2P - £1,047.23

£545.86 saved for April.

Despite my S&S ISA falling -5% in total over February and March, it bounced back nicely by 4.55% in April! Yay! Long-term performance remains strong at approx 11.7% annualised since 31/12/2014.

£894.37 saved for March - form submitted

total so far - a measley £63.25....

however on the bright side my totals are looking good for April so I will finally start making some progress

Changing my update for April - I miscalculated my total and I've decided to add in my LISA bonus as I'm including interest from all my other accounts anyway - new total for April is £2887.91. Overall total this year is £2951.16

Just updated the spreadsheet for April and May, £500 for each month. Where did the time go to??

I have a boiler to pay for in September so going to be knuckling down really hard and trying to save another £500 a month between now and then to go towards it. I'm keeping that off the spreadsheet though, as this is saving to be spent rather than for retirement.

Just updated the form #73 adding £1,684 for April.
The volatile shares are up this month... let's see if they can hold the gains!
Good luck all

#20 reporting £1560 for April. Well on track so far for the year so just hoping I can keep it up.


May will have plenty of expensive socialising (not completely by choice) so will be a bit more of a struggle!

Poor Simplyfading has got chicken-pox :eek: so please hold on - she will be back shortly to update the sheet with April's (sounding very productive) month's totals
