Money in the bank

    Well done and what a great feeling to have.

    You know you can do it now.

    How would it be to feel like that next month as well?

  • Well done Numpty Monkey! :beer:

    I can still remember that feeling like it was yesterday. It's taking back the control and making your money work for. And boy does it feel good. :)

    Great name by the way. :rotfl:

    Sadly, I'm never in credit, even on payday - but the overdraft is at least shrinking a bit each month. I look forward to being in your shoes eventually. Well done.
